Why Australian Researchers Are 'Spying' On 5,000 Honey Bees

The industrious honey bee not only provides us with delicious honey, but also, helps pollinate about a third of the world's fruits and vegetables. It is therefore no wonder that the ongoing deaths of millions of the tiny insects throughout the world, a phenomenon scientists call Colony Collapse Disorder, has researchers extremely worried. What's even worse is that despite extensive investigation, the cause still remains a total mystery.

    I've learned that bee's pollinate or crops and they are dying in colonies. They also provide honey for us. I think that bee's are important and we need them.

      One fact that I learned in this article is that the massive honey bee drop is called Colony Collapse Syndrome. Another fact I learned was that the bees' disappearing is a complete mystery. I think that this article is cool. I really love honey and I really hope that the honey bees will not go extinct! It would be so bad if they did, because they pollinate so much. I really hope this plan works.

        Honey bees pollinate a third of the worlds fruits an vegetables. Bees are dying off around the world.

                  The Colony Collapse disorder is the rapid disappearance of the insect population. It is important to find a solution because without the insects most of our vegetation will not survive. The Australian researchers are keeping an eye on bees to try and find the source of the disorder. They want to find out why and where this is happening so they can try and stop it. I am guessing peaches, plums, and strawberries.

                    Bees are certainly important for sure. I think that this is a smart thing to do because without some of the insects our vegetation would die. Although the radio thing seems (to me) a little overboard, it is a good idea to keep an eye on the colonies.
