Book TV: "Fruitless Fall: The Collapse of the Honeybee and the Coming Agricultural Crisis"
From the video notes: "Rowan Jacobsen explores the death of 30 billion honeybees in the northern hemisphere and the ramifications this loss has on agriculture. Mr. Jacobsen reports that honeybees pollinate one third of American crops and due to Colony Collapse Disorder, many hives are being transported around the world to avoid an agricultural collapse." Some "rays of hope" are offered during the Q & N (about half way through the program). Click here to watch the program.
