The first alarms about the sudden widespread disappearance of honeybees came
in late 2006, and the phenomenon soon had a name: colony collapse disorder.
In the two years that followed, about one-third of bee colonies vanished,
while researchers toiled to figure out what was causing the collapse.
<http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1918282,00.html> A study
published last week<http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2009/08/21/0906970106.abstract?sid=a739b89d-d70a-4f97-9569-f99fd62679b7>in
the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences surmises that
there
may not be a single pathogen involved but a collection of culprits. What
have entomologists and beekeepers learned in the last few years of dealing
with the crisis? We asked May R. Berenbaum, an author of the study, and
other experts for an update.
