'We don't know,' said Udell Meyer, of Edwardsville, treasurer of the Illinois State Beekeepers Association. 'That's unpredictable.'The phenomenon, called Colony Collapse Disorder and first reported in late 2006, is credited with killing up to a quarter of the country's 2.4 million bee colonies last year, although it's still unclear what causes it. Adult honey bees just suddenly die off, leaving hives and honeycombs empty. That may be good for those afraid of stingers, but it's potentiality devastating for both professional beekeepers and the farmers who rely on honeybees to pollinate plants and the country's $14 billion worth of crops.

Writing in the March issue of the journal Atmospheric Environment, a team of University of Virginia researchers suggests that air pollution reduces the distance the scent-bearing hydrocarbon molecules released by flowers are able to travel. They found that air pollution can eliminate as much as 90 percent of flowers' aroma. That limits their exposure to bees, which are keenly sensitive to the aromas. And that makes it harder for the bees to feed, which might be a reason bee populations are declining. As bee populations drop, it becomes harder and harder to propagate fruits and vegetables that depend on the bees for pollination.
