It has wrought havoc amongst honeybees ever since. The mites feed on the developing honeybee larvae and pupae that can then fail to emerge as adult bees. Those adults that do emerge are often infected with viruses and are crippled or paralysed, their life span reduced. The population of the hive decreases as the population of the mites increases and very soon the hive is dead. This has led to the condition being described as Colony Collapse Disorder. The native population of honeybees is all but gone and it is now seems that it is the beekeeper alone that stops the bees from dying out altogether. However this is an uphill struggle. There is no government support, no grants, (though in many countries, beekeepers are given support but not in U.K.) How can you help? You can keep bees yourself or help me keep mine by adopting a bee hive. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7312358.stm
