Who Knew How Much We Need The Honey Bee??

Thanks Brie!  This post of yours was kind of the motivation for this in the first place. 

I'm quite positive there's more than just a shred of truth to this one.

"...we know that over one-third of our food supply relies upon them for pollination services and we know that pollination is essential for the reproduction of the plants the bees service."  That's a problem..

JEREMY'S RESPONSE

"Yes Brie- that is worrying. I don't know much about the vanishing bee phenomenon. Does anyone have solid evidence about what exactly is causing it?"

OK, as for me, I'm going to search more into the why, how dire the situation is and what is being done about it.
