What can it Bee?

This is an interesting topic that are leaving scientists confused and in a quandary. The topic is:

"MYSTERIOUS AILMENT WIPING OUT BEES"

There seems to be a mysterious disease in Pennsylvania that is wiping out tons of the U.S.'s Honey bees. This is a very serious issue because if the bees are all gone, the flowers will not be pollinated which means that plants will die and many animals will die from the chain reaction making a big change in the food chain. When the disease hits the hive, it leaves no trace of the bees ever being there or any trace of exatcly what had killed it off. CNN says that this same problem occured in the 1960's and some have not reported that they had seen it a few years back from now. This is obviously a very big issue that the scientists have to work hard to fix. I feel that the disease might spread throughout the country, making this a much bigger story and scaring many more people.
