"Colony Collapse Disorder" (CCD) Scary stuff!
 

This is an article on "Colony Collapse Disorder" (CCD), basically where whole colonies of bees are dissappearing.

If all the bees vanished, they couldn't pollinate flowers, flowers on food crops! It would have to be done by hand?

And would there implications on orchid species too?

Very scary stuff :(
