Honey bees are disapearing, but why? Actualy, the reason is not clear yet. They could be dying by mites, or viriuses, even of malnutrition. Some ideas like cell phones have been said that it is not an idea any more. Here are some reasons why honey bees our diseapering:

• They could be dying of malnutrition,
• A virus similar to aids is The Israile Acute Paralysis Virus (IAPV), which came from Israil, then Australia or Asia got the virus. Then their bees got to America, then are bees got infected. The virus eats away at the bees and leaves nothing, plus it grows fungus inside them.
• Another possibility is the Varroa mite, also called the Vampire mite. Like the IAPV, the Varroa mite eats the honey bee, all of it also.

Those are the three most reasons why bees are disapearing. The thing about the Varroa and the IVAP is that when the honey bees get infected they leave the hive, and do not return. On this blog please post comments if you have information on why honey bees are disapearing.
