Paulita's email reminded me of the sudden bee extinctions going on in some parts of the U.S. How do I know this? Because I read a really cool New Yorker article on it last year. It's titled Stung and was written by Elizabeth Kolbert. Experts have a couple hypotheses, ranging from global warming to diseases, but one thing is for sure, the bee population in the U.S. is shrinking very quickly. The article is a great read, as is almost all of Kolbert's global warming coverage in the New Yorker.
While you read that article, listen to these songs:
Blind Melon - No Rain
Wilco - Muzzle Of Bees
