Now that's Got to Sting - CCD

Colony Collapse Disorder was making a buzz a few years ago. The threat of the Honeybee becoming extinct. And as we all know about the birds and the bees, this is a big deal. The declining Honeybee threatens to take with it fruits, vegetables, and nuts. One Third of our food types would be lost if we were to lose the bees. Recent funding for honeybee research has declined. As this was a 2006 video I wonder why we have not been able to figure out the problem and come up with some solution in 5 years. Needless to say, we need to stick a boot up some politician's and scientist's posteriors so I can have my slice of Apple Pie in the next decade. If we don't have Apple Pie, does that mean we are no longer American?
