Of course the problem might not have such a cosmological influence...
Do a google search for "bees disappearing" and you'll come up with a lot of the articles about what they're calling "colony collapse disorder", which could be biological in nature... viral, fungal or nutritional. There's a suggestion that way the bees are being used in a commercial fashion has stressed the bees out... or that there's a form of immunological problem... sort of an AIDS for bees.
The thing that I'm getting out of these article is that it's the commercial hives that are experiencing this phenomenon.... entomologists need to survey wild hives to determine if this is a species problem.
It would suck if the commercially bred bees were able to spread the problem to the wild.
