Other factors could also contribute, it added, including the fact that bees are being transported long distances to pollinate single crops, or monocultures, rather than producing honey.

"They are one of our most ancient allies," Henein said in an interview in London. "We actually depend on honey bees to eat. May be out of selfishness it raises a red flag."

Langworthy added: "It's a broader issue about the system of agriculture. People are going to have to rethink it and maybe they don't want to. It really will have to be driven by the general public's call for change."

Maybe they're taking lessons from killer bees.. those chicks will fly off on a whim and they'll take their honey with 'em too, thankyouverymuch!

glad to hear someone's looking into this...

Interesting that they are not linking it to Cell Phones as UK articles have already-- a very real "inconvenient truth"...too inconvenient to include in their film.

Great clip! As a former beekeeper teh subject interests me a lot. Thanks.
