The mysterious bees are missing

For some reason, bees all over Germany are disappearing in recent months. In the United States, bees are also dying of unexplained mass, to the point of causing economic consequences. Scientists call this phenomenon " broken rupture disorder " (CCD), and warns it can turn into a national disaster.

The strange thing is that millions of bees disappear without leaving bodies, not found in beehives, nor anywhere. After almost all the bees disappear, the bodies of some of the bees found in the nest show signs of being infected with a variety of fungi - which show that the bee's immune system is impaired.

More strangely, these abandoned beehives were not captured by the nearby bees or insects as they were in the cold winter, when a honeycomb died. Did the surviving insects " know " in the nest with poison?

According to the latest research by German scientists, CCD is related to a gene of bacteria in the soil that has been modified and introduced into corn plants for insect resistance. Studies show that this corn does not harm bee pollination. But if infected with a parasite on the bees tested above, the number of bee deaths will increase dramatically.

The final conclusion about the cause of CCD has not been established because more experiments are needed to confirm the above results.
