There was this huge scam that the bees were all dying, and it was going to be the end us of all.
There was this huge scam (perpetuated by the left) for many years that bees were dying, and it was going to be the end us of all, because bees were so important to the ecosystem. Colony Collapse Disorder was sensationalized as the greatest threat to humanity since Nuclear weapons. A decade later, nothing had happened and most had forgotten the media's sensationalism.
Bee Colonoly Collapse disorder is going to destroy aggriculture and is a crisis. (With various leftist excuses for why: pesticides, global warming, and so on).
A decade later, we have more bees than ever, and while it's true a few hives just shut down and we aren't sure why, they are easy to replace. And the scaremongering once against failed to predict the adaptibility of markets.
But the informed remembered, and learned from the mistake.
