The bee colony collapse disorder had spread rapidly around the world with most people being unaware of the fact and the far reaching consequences of this tragedy in the bee world. At first, the reports were far and wide between, but this changed rapidly. Until today, there still is no consensus on what is causing the deaths of so many colonies.

But more and more studies have found a strong link between the use of neonics and the bee colony collapse disorder. The European Union will decide about a total ban on these pesticides in the near future and if this ban should go through it would certainly give other nations more reason to consider doing the same.

Without bees our world would not only miss out on the beauty of this species but it would actually be a major issue in supplying food.
