  • Oops, the Bees are in a spot of bother, and this should bother you, even if you don't like honey. We've fucked about with Bees and their environment so much that they can't take it anymore.

    It seems the possible culprit has been found and guess what -- it isn't us.

    The colony collapses are caused by the combination of Nosema ceranea microsporidian and RNA viruses. I haven't got a link to anything else than a Finnish paper, but as the source of the news was BBC (they were quoting some US researchers), I'd think the news can be found elsewhere, too.

    So step off the blame train, please.
