This probably doesn't seem like a big deal. And in the short-term, it might not be. However, big picture --> this could be a serious problem. The direction human society is heading, and has been heading for a long time now, is one that cannot be sustained. Bees are a vital part of the ecosystem. And they are now considered endangered (at least in some parts of the U.S.). Reading this didn't make me jump out of my chair. And that's a problem. Not only are our ways of life unhealthy for long-term sustainability, we also don't really seem to care that much. When will we wake up?
