What's bad for the humans, is bad for the bees
Obviously scientists have been looking into what has been killing the bees for quite some time. So what have they come up with?

Maybe it's the Pesticides.

Captain Obvious to the rescue. Gosh, I don't know what we would have done without all you nice scientists. Granted, okay maybe I'm being a bit harsh on them - I mean they still haven't figured out how a cat purrs. It's a bit difficult to see how a clock ticks after it has died, after all.

Beekeepers are a bit more convinced

While scientists are going to try and back up their buddies in pesticide, the beekeepers are doing all they can to keep their hives from pollinating fields sprayed with pesticides. Some keepers have lost up to 75% of their bees, so it's obvious they will take any solution that presents itself, as soon as it presents itself.

The one thing that gets me though - if that particular pesticide has been used since 1994, why now? They could have changed their formula, and who would've known? Or farmers could be using it improperly, as the company ever so cutely claims.

Or maybe it takes 13 years for pesticides to kill bees. Hmm. I wonder how long it takes for pesticides to kill humans?
