BRING BACK THE BEE!

Answer 2

There has been  a viral infection that severely effected bees. The pathogen was identified within a year or so from the time they identified the downturn in the population. This story has caused a lot of panicky headlines and the attention in the media might possibly help with raising funds for finding a cure.
