Agricultural pesticides and fungicides are the biggest cause of Colony Collapse Disorder...but yes, the worlds bees are in trouble and that is trouble for food production.

nah, not quite true on that there Chris........

the common fly does more for pollination than the bees, but yeah.....bloody shame that the bees are getting flogged.

I am no expert but don't they pollinate different things. Like don't most plants/grasses/alfalfa get pollinated by bees, whereas flies are more linked to pollinating stone fruits like mangoes etc?
