Bees studied and found to be unable to fight off infection by a parasite called Nosema ceranae. This parasite is implicated in Colony Collapse Disorder. "The pollen was contaminated on average with nine different pesticides and fungicides though scientists discovered 21 agricultural chemicals in one sample." "Scientists identified eight ag chemicals associated with increased risk of infection by the parasite." If bees become extinct many of our nutrient dense foods will no longer be available.
