“The United States is losing about one-third of its honey bee hives each year, according to Greg Hunt, a Purdue professor of behavioral genetics, honey bee specialist and co-author of the findings. Hunt said no one factor is to blame, though scientists believe that others such as mites and insecticides are all working against the bees, which are important for pollinating food crops and wild plants.” Via Purdue Today
