From the literature: Over the last several winters, more than 25 percent of the honeybee population in the United States has vanished, many under mysterious circumstances. Early reports from beekeepers show that this phenomenon is continuing in 2008. Everything from poor nutrition [and] invasive mites to Colony Collapse Disorder -- a phenomenon where bees from a colony abruptly desert the hive and die -- is affecting the bees. The disappearance has scientists stumped and has the potential to affect many of our favorite nuts, fruits and berries.
So here I am, doing my part to raise awareness to the plight of the honeybee, so I can help save my delicious Haagen-Dazs strawberry ice cream.
