SocraticGadfly: Bee colony deaths increase

Bee colony deaths increase

Colony collapse disorder hit 29 percent of commercial honeybee hives, in a survey of 19 percent of commercial beekeepers.

CCD and other problems knocked off 36 percent of hives last year, something that is obviously unsustainable.

So, if you see honey and fresh fruit prices continue to rise, you know why.
