Pollination Crisis

Bad news - honeybees across the country are dropping like flies,

You may think you don't care about bees. You may even view them as flying fiends, suicide buzz bombers who aim to give you pain.

But they make delicious honey. And they pollinate some of our crops. Our economy profits from these queen-enslaved bugs.

What is killing them off? Is it a bacteria, a virus, a fungus? Some new chemical in the environment? No one knows.

What's really strange to me
Is that flowers use the bee
To pollinate -
To mate.

A bee's a flying go-between
To distant partners, never seen.
