Why Honeybees are Vanishing
The mysterious phenomenon known as Bee Colony Collapse Disorder has been worrying scientists, beekeepers and growers for months now. Without the domesticated bees that are trucked around the country to pollinate such crops as almonds, peaches, blueberries, cucumbers and squash (but not, fortunately, wheat or corn), supplies would plummet.
Theories about why huge numbers of hives have been abandoned, their inhabitants presumably dead, have included parasites and environmental toxins, but now Science magazine is weighing in with a suite of papers, based on genomic analysis, that points to a microbe called Israeli Acute Paralysis Virus. The authors of the papers are pretty convinced that the virus is a significant part of the problem, yet probably not the only one. Parasites and pesticides almost certainly weakened the bees, allowing the virus to have maximum effect. Still, identifying the virus could be a big step toward reversing the big bee die-off.
