We depend on honeybees to pollinate the plants that produce our food. That's why beekeepers, farmers, and scientists want to know why honeybees started vanishing around 2007. The Case of the Disappearing Honeybees explores the mystery of colony collapse disorder (CCD), a worldwide problem that results in millions of honeybees disappearing without a trace every year.
