The honeybee population, and consequently the worlds food supply lies in peril. In 2006 Beekeepers and researchers sounded a nationwide alarm after observing a steep decline in the Honeybee population. Honeybees play an essential role in the agricultural industry and their mysterious die-off could impact our economy as well as our diet. Tens of billions of bees have been lost so far according to an estimate by the Apiary Inspectors od America; researchers have named this epidemic "colony collapse disorder".
