Description: 蜜蜂已繁衍了五千萬年，每個蜂群都有的4到5萬名成員，牠們合作無間的默契令人驚嘆。那為什麼蜂群在七年前開始大量死亡？Marla Spivak揭露四個釀成悲劇的因素。這個問題不僅僅攸關三分之一的全球作物依賴蜜蜂授粉；還有這奇妙的物種的遭遇，會不會是人類的前車之鑑？

Bees quietly sustain over a third of global crop production, yet their populations have plummeted by half since World War II. Loss of flowering plants, pesticide overload, monoculture farming, and parasites are combining to drive this collapse. Hand pollination is already needed in parts of the world where bees are gone. Restoring flower-rich landscapes can help bees recover and protect our own food supply.
