The collapse of US honeybee colonies this year is set to devastate America's multibillion dollar agriculture and food industries.
Last year about 750,000 of the 2.5m hives in the US were wiped out in mysterious circumstances, and already this year the American Beekeeping Federation says there is evidence from its members that losses will be even greater this year.
TVNL Comment: You would think that this was worthy of serious coverage. Apparently our food supply is not important to the people who decide on the broadcast news coverage!
