Now it has emerged that more than 37 million bees across 600 hives have also been reported dead in Ontario, Canada. Known as 'colony collapse disorder', the mysterious condition that is destroying bee populations all over the world is quickly becoming a critical issue."More than 85 percent of Earth's plant species - many of which compose some of the most nutritional parts of our diet - require pollinators to exist," said conservationist Eric Mader.
