Without bees, the world would lose its flavors

Gave in Time. The cover of the magazine warns of the consequences of a world without bees. The problem goes far beyond honey: about one third of all plants and plant products depend on pollination. That is, the world would lose much of its menu. It is not today that beekeepers U.S. and Europe complain about the high mortality and the disappearance of hives. The phenomenon, called CCD or hive collapse disorder, has several reasons. The main ones are monocultures of soybeans and corn, which reduce the menu bees and pesticides, which kill or weaken the insects.
