Museum investigates mystery bee deaths

Huh. I'm a little worried about all the bees dying out in the wild. How the heck did they all die in there? That's a good question. Hopefully the museum officials will find the cause before acquiring a new colony of bees. We wouldn't want the same situation to happen again.

hoping there's some kind of quarrantine going on for now.

Mass Suicide!

I'm sure that some fireworks scared them and cause them to go crazy and fly into stuff and suffer massive blunt trauma which in turned killed them.

When the Monarch butterfly's were killed off back in '96,no one knew why at first.(3/4 of the population were killed off.Very significant number.)When they did some investigating,they found that the cause was something that had just started to be used in mass by none other than Monsanto.It was the GMO corn that had produced pollen that was geneticly modified as a pesticide.Sure it helped to keep the bugs away,but with the unwanted side effect of killing off other insects as well.Nowadays,there is the very same thing going on with the same company.Monsanto has created(and has the patents on)man...

@Kitana2010,my observation was on the world's bee population.As for what happened with these bee's in particular,the diagnosis made by the people who ran the exibit seemed reasonable.

wasnt it made public ( well not too public) through wiki leaks that the government killed them off with a pesticide THEY knew would kill them...

LMAO @ #6
