Tens of millions of Florida bees drop dead in one day

2011

On 26th September, millions of bees from approximately 800 apiaries in Florida all dropped dead at roughly the same time.  
"[…] hundreds of colonies from 30 different sites in a one-and-a-half mile radius literally dropping dead all at the same time and leaving their carcasses behind, which is why authorities have dismissed Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) as the cause. Based on the appearance of the dead bees, as well as the synchronous timing of their deaths, pesticide sprayings appear to be the culprit in this case."
