I have been following this problem for about six months and it seems as if it is reaching epidemic proportions. I have hear that a Monsanto genetically altered corn has weakened the bees digestional tract and that this has given them a sort of Bee AIDS. There is an Einstein quote in this article which says

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

Now I like Bees and honey...Is this just a "bad year" or is something far more nefarious afoot here?
