Scientists identify culprit behind biggest-ever U.S. honey bee die-off

I live in Florida. Both my neighbor and I lost our hive q few weeks apart. It happened very quickly and what the article mentioned is most likely what they got. We knew about the sharp die-off across the U.S. so decided to hold off bee keeping until it is figured out.

there is a survey slideshow and a raw research paper linked in that article. these colony numbers are beyond awful.
