An unsolved problem

Honey bees are continuing to decline, due to a mysterious affliction known as "colony collapse disorder," in which much of a colony suddenly disappears, leaving only the queen. Anne Marie Chaker writes about it in today's Wall Street Journal. Scientists have so far not been able to determine the cause - or come up with a solution.

If you were a bee, hanging around pesticides, wouldn't you disappear? Just sayin.
