Offering a little advice.

I need these bees to keep everything running all smooth!  And you need me to be doing that. It would also help if you kept yourselves from covering up the information you find about this problem.  In 2001, public scientists, not funded by industry,  concluded that feeding bees syrup containing just 0.1 ppb for 10 days would kill 50 percent of them. The next year, industry lobbyists announced that its own studies found “no negative effect can be observed on honeybee colonies” below 20 ppb. In other words, industry thinks bees can tolerate 200 times as much imidacloprid without dying (or suffering any harmful effects) as public scientists found.
The moral of the story is, listen to the scientists who don't have a paycheck riding on their results.  And actually act on their recommendations. That would help me out a lot.

Good News

Well, we here at the USDA have narrowed Colony Collapse Disorder to about 16 different possibilities, the best of which are:

• A parasitic mite called Varroa Destructor
• Viruses
• A bacterial disease called European Foulbrood
• Pesticides (specifically neonicotinoids)
• Cell phone radiation
• A combination of Nosema Apis Fungus and Invertebrate Iridescent Virus
• Climate change

 Just know that we are working on the case.

I'm glad the bees think they are the centre of the universe...

What is with these bees? All they are doing is complaining about how they are dying! Don't they realize that other people have problems too? It's not like the world is going to collapse without them. These bees are really getting on our nerves...

Sup bros, I'm dying.

I have a bit of a dilemma, you see me and my people are kind of... well... dying. Its been happening for a while now, since about 2006. Could somebody help me out?
