Florida bee massacre!

An estimate of 12 million bees died in Florida due to unknown causes! All the bees died within a mile-and-a-half radius from more than 800 different hives. No one knows for sure what killed them. "The fact that it was so widespread and so rapid, I think you can pretty much rule out disease," Bill Kern, a University of Florida entomologist, told Florida Today. "It happened essentially almost in one day. Usually diseases affect adults or the brood, you don’t have something that kills them both."
