Colony collapse disorder

What's become of society? Humans are acting up and out at an alarming rate. Do birds do it? Apparently, bees do it.

Millions and millions of them are leaving their apiaries and never coming home.

Aliens?

No, it's probably just earthly viruses or other factors that our actions are to blame. . . breeding, pesticides, trucking bees around to do pollination gigs, which are more profitable than competing with imported Chinese honey. . . .

It's a fascinating industry, absolutely necessary for producing human food such as almonds, and only makes a person about $30,000 a year or $11 profit per hive.

Maybe they just decided that their lives sucked and moved on to get new ones...
