Honey Bees

So i'm writing my research paper on the Colony Collapse Disorder and how it has been affecting bee populations and the crops they help grow.
There is a lot of important information within the articles I am using as reference and there is a definite black cloud starting to hang over the head of humanity.
Bees are responsible for over 1/3 of the crops we grow in America, this includes the animals we eat that eat those crops. Bees are dying rapidly, people are loosing 50-90% of their ENTIRE colonies over the course of a season. One man had 600 hives and now has 200, because of CCD.
CCD or colony collapse disorder has an unknown cause but it infects the worker bees and causes them to abandon their hives to die. They leave the queen and her larvae, which are EXTREMELY infected! Many have almost every virus that can infect bees, some have five or six along with fungal infections at the same time! That's terrible!
This is happening rapidly all over the world.
Bees need our help, do what you can to help them.
Our future depends on it, don't loose sight of that.
They have done research that states that five years after the last bee dies, humans will die rapidly in numbers from starvation.
