Honeybees: Why are they decreasing?

Nature.com has an article about the decrease in animal pollinators (The pollinator crisis: what's best for bees) and the effect that has on the environment. Bees have been decreasing for years, as their graph shows, and these scientists based in California are looking for reasons why. As you comment upon the article think about the how this research could be used in different regions of the country. Also identify how this article connects the last few chapters that we have studied.

Update (11.16.11):
The European Parliament is getting involved by taking action to protect the bees as well. Is this an appropriate response, and should the government of the United States do something similar to this.
