Are the Bees Okay Now?

Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) is a phenomenon where worker bees disappear, leaving behind the queen and young. First identified in 2006, CCD caused significant hive losses but has since declined. Despite this, bees face ongoing threats like Varroa mites, pesticides, and habitat loss. While the exact cause of CCD remains unknown, efforts are underway to address other bee-related issues through research, policy changes, and habitat restoration.
