Fake News: Bee Colonies NOT in Decline

We had one of these swarms in our front yard a few years ago for several weeks. Yes, that’s hundreds of bees. And most in Arizona are Africanized.

Remember 8–10 years ago when scientists told us that bee colonies were mysteriously disappearing. They called it Colony Collapse Disorder. Maybe caused by pesticides or other pollution. If the trend continued, crops wouldn’t be pollinated and we’d starve to death. Apocalypse within a few years.

Looks harmless enough, right?

Turns out it was Fake News. Thank God.

More reason for science skepticism.
