This seriously sounds like its straight from “X-files.” Billions of bees have gone missing world wide. That’s missing. Not dead (though its safe to presume they probably are dead) no bodies have been found!

The phenomenon was first noticed late last year in the United States, where honeybees are used to pollinate $15 billion worth of fruits, nuts and other crops annually. Disappearing bees have also been reported in Europe and Brazil.

Commercial beekeepers would set their bees near a crop field as usual and come back in two or three weeks to find the hives bereft of foraging worker bees, with only the queen and the immature insects remaining. Whatever worker bees survived were often too weak to perform their tasks.

It sounds silly, but this could drastically affect the price of produce which require bee pollination or anything with honey in it.
