Don't Forget About the Bee's

Two years after bee colonies across the United States began disappearing mysteriously, scientists still don't know what has caused about a third of them to vanish - and why some places, like Northeast Georgia, have escaped the so-called Colony Collapse Disorder.

Beekeepers hope a $4.1 million grant will help scientists at the University of Georgia and other schools find out the answers to those questions.

The poorly understood disorder began to strike bee colonies in 24 states in late 2006. Colony Collapse Disorder also has been reported in other countries across the globe.
