I was not able to find the movie in time though I would still like to watch it at a later date, I watched the trailer and I did a little research so that I would at least have something to talk about in my blog post. I already knew that bees were essential to life because they pollinate our plant. It is a scary thought that the bees are disappearing. I would like to know what is really killing our honey bees though I suspect that we will not know for sure for many more years. A colony of bees was wiped out in three hours, the implications of that are staggering. They are simply vanishing.
Usually bees will take over a hive that is empty but these hives are sitting empty and other bees wont even look at the hive. This probably means that there is something wrong with the hive or they are afraid of what will happen to them is they take over the hive. Colony collapse is happening all over the world. There are many theories of why this is happening, including cell towers, pesticides and varroa mites. None of these have been proven, actually most of the theories have bee dis-proven.It is a scary idea that the bees can disappear and we don't know why.
I will update this post after I have seen the movie.
