Disappearing Honeybees
http://thedianerehmshow.org/shows/2007-05-10/disappearing-honeybees
"Colony collapse disorder" is the name scientists have given to the problem plaguing honeybees across the U.S., Canada, and parts of Europe. As much as a quarter of the honeybee population is missing, and in some areas the percentage is as high as 70 percent. Diane and her guests talk about the latest research into this problem, and what's at stake for American agriculture.
