Bees and CCD- Colony Colapse Disorder (or where are all the bees?)

I actually had a few minutes between chores and helping a friend move (thanks to the wonderful hard work of my 3 sons) to skim through some online news. Some gave me a chuckle and some didn't. I came across an interesting article about bees and thought I'd re-post the link here for anyone who is interested. We're all dependent on bees and their pollination of everything from our berries to the almonds used to make milk. I think it's time I took the tops off our hives and see how the girls are getting on, it's time for a new box or two I think.
