- Summary:
- Consists of a series of interviews with beekeepers, who discuss colony collapse disorder as an indicator that bees are exquisitely sensitive harbingers of environmental degradation. Since four-fifths of agriculture depends on bees as pollinators, what is wrong with bees is probably a good indicator of what will soon be wrong with humans.
