It is unclear, but evidently a disease or parasite or combination of diseases and parasites.
Bee die-offs have happened before in history. They have always ended when the surviving bees, apparently resistant to the ailment that killed off the rest, reproduced and the population returned to normal.
I haven't heard this mentioned, but I suspect the practice of trucking bee hives all over the country to pollinate crops in season, is a factor in spreading the present bee-plague.
I also suspect that the introduction of Africanized bee genes in the US will help increase the hardiness of the honeybee population. Their greater defensiveness is an inconvenience, but we may be glad of this introduction of foreign genes in the long run.
I expect that bees will be back to normal in a few years.Why are the bees dissapearing?
Climate change,urbanization and pollution.Climate change because bees can only survive up to 35 degrees of temperature or for the lower i dont know:).Urabnization because more forests are cleared and thus less food for bees.Not every city have flowers they require do they?Polltuion because those toxic gases are definitely wiping em out.
We don't really know. Climate would not cause it because of the huge range of bees. Not all bees would be affected. Pesticides are the most likely cause in my opinion. You can try this link for more info.

it's because of a parasite which is infecting hives and killing the bees.
there was something in the news a couple of days ago, beekeepers protesting at downing street.
Mystery. No one really knows, but they are working on finding out why.
It's not the ';farm bees';. It's the wild bees. I hope scientists figure out what's going on.
IM EATING THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!
