Opinion of a piece of news: Where have all the bees gone?


I recently read an article on BBC news that's about bees. The article says that for the past five years the bees have died in large numbers.
One of the countries most affected by the death of bees is the U.S.A. It's a country that has got a lot of pollination business, so it's very damaging for this country.
The media will contact with scientists and beekeepers on the causes of these deaths.
The BBC World Service programme 'The World Today' will be broadcasting live from the heart of California's Central Valley where billions of bees are gathered for the biggest bee migration event in the world, the pollination of the almond trees.
Personally I don't know very well if here in this country there's also a very high mortality of bees. But I think it's a bad sign. The honey is very important to humans, and we also need the pollination for the flowers. There are also people living in the honey business. If dying bees would be a big problem because they are essential, like many other insects. I think we should investigate the causes of this mortality, and preventing if it becomes more serious, that’s my opinion.
