colony collapse disorder

This Halloween dress your baby like a bee and help spread the buzz about CCD.

"If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would have only four more years.  No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man."

New York based Dundee Brewing Company makers of the popular Dundee Honey Brown beer have created a "Save the Honey Bee" program. 

The program is designed to raise awareness to the plight of honey bees and support ongoing research efforts to the cause of Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). 

Ever since Rachel Carson’s book “Silent Spring” first appeared, warning us against the dangers of chemicals in our natural world—we seem to be entering a new, more dangerous period, where the accumulated human effects upon the environment are producing an obvious toll. In this story, another human soul speaks out, this time, about the plight of the honeybees.

Although bees are crucial to our food supply, their numbers have been assaulted by mysterious colony collapse disorder. One New York Times writer discovers the joys and tricks of bee keeping, doing her small part, in this new blog post.
