Save the bees!

Just read an article on the bumblebee decrease in North America. As usual, industrial food production is one of the suspects. There's a pathogen killing native bees, introduced by imported European bees used "to provide industrial pollination services. Wild bumblebees, which have never experienced this pathogen before, began declining severely by the late 1990s."

Researchers from U of Toronto found higher numbers of infected bees near these imported bee centers (we import bees??) And apparently the solution is pretty easy--to fix any of the little gaps where bees can escape or get in. So. Easy-solution-happy-ending for once.
