Bees are dying at unsustainable levels and the situation is not improving, said vanEngelsdorp, also a bee expert with the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture.

"For two years in a row, we've sustained a substantial loss," he said. "That's an astonishing number. Imagine if one out of every three cows, or one out of every three chickens, were dying. That would raise a lot of alarm."

You clearly never opened up the Hl SDK with the intention to create a mod, else you would have known how MUCH work writing a mod really is. Yes, valve crippled the game, the a-team had every right to whine about that, because they spend every free hour MAKING THIS MOD FOR YOUR SORRY ASS TO ENJOY! The changes valve made demanded a rewrite of like 50% of the code. The least you could have done was support them. You have just no idea what you're talking about.

Since about one-third of the U.S. diet depends on pollination and most of that is performed by honeybees, this [mass honeybee disappearance] constitutes a serious problem, according to Jeff Pettis of the U.S. Agricultural Research Service.
Honeybees are used to pollinate some of the tastiest parts of the American diet, Pettis said, including cherries, blueberries, apples, almonds, asparagus and macadamia nuts. "It's not the staples," he said. "If you can imagine eating a bowl of oatmeal every day with no fruit on it, that's what it would be like" without honeybee pollination.
