1. Bees are vanishing: Colony Colapse Syndrome or CCD. 70% are already gone Globally. - No Bees, no pollination, no plant life, no fruits and vegetables. Bats are contracting a unexplained white fungus around their mouths that kills them by the 10s of thousands. Bats and Bees are vital to our existence. We are losing them ... quickly. It's a bit late for quizzes. No offense.
