Disappearing Honeybees 
"Colony collapse disorder" is the name scientists have given to the problem 
plaguing honeybees across the U.S., Canada, and parts of Europe. As much as a 
quarter of the honeybee population is missing, and in some areas the percentage 
is as high as 70 percent. Diane and her guests talk about the latest research 
into this problem, and what's at stake for American agriculture. 
 
Guests
Dr. Kevin Hackett, national program leader for bees and pollination at the 
Agricultural Research Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture 
Michael Embrey, beekeeper and technical entomologist who runs the extension 
service for beekeeping at the University of Maryland
