Answer 1

Bees have been dying off for quite awhile now, to where a good chunk of the pollination that occurs on our farms is done by transient bees taken around by beekeepers, who are paid a set amount per colony used.  The Media has blamed &quot;Colony Collapse Disorder&quot; for the decline of the honey bee population in the past (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colony_coll... for more information), but there are probably a variety of reasons for the decline.
