Dead bees make me sad.

I love their sweet sticky sticky delicious spit.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Oh, surprise, it's multiple interacting factors with unforeseen consequences combining to make the bees more susceptible to a common infection!

There's also the whole part where if the bees die we won't get to eat anymore.

I don't eat many bees as it is, so I doubt I'll be especially affected.

Despite you being human, I think I'll let you live.

NO IT'S OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE THE BEES ARE BEING FORCED TO GAY MARRY

I absolutely love how they have to frame the threat in terms of dollar value, obviously to impress upon the readership how important this is. Like "every man woman and child on planet earth will starve to death" isn't considered important enough, they have to back it up with $4billion loss to industry

This amused me as well.

That's because more people understand money than how bees allow plants to propagate.

I'm picturing a CEO and some intern is waving a stack of reports and saying "If we don't fix this we're all going to die!" and the exec is all like "Yes, fine but how will it affect our bottom line? Unless there's at least a two point drop I'm never going to be able to sell this to the board"

Speaking as one who has dealt with the board of a gigantic corporation, this is a true story.

This makes me fucking sad as hell. There's some hives up the street at the urban farming store, and they went from TEEMING with bees to me not even seeing any in a few weeks.
