In the fall of 2006, many beekeepers around the world began reporting a disturbing phenomenon -- the bees in their hives were dying at a tremendous rate, with some estimating that 90% of the bees in their colonies were gone. While this was obviously a serious blow to honey producers, the disappearance of the bees also posed a potential crisis for global agriculture; the United States Department of Agriculture estimates a third of all food consumed in the U.S. is in some way connected to bee pollination, particularly nuts, berries, vegetables and fruits.
