what is happening to the bees?

NYTimes: "More than a quarter of the country’s 2.4 million bee colonies have been lost — tens of billions of bees, according to an estimate from the Apiary Inspectors of America, a national group that tracks beekeeping. So far, no one can say what is causing the bees to become disoriented and fail to return to their hives."


Maybe they're finally escaping their horrible lives of slavery, being carted around in boxes inside trucks to pollinate the plants of anyone who can pay their master. Maybe it's a brave and heartbreaking story of freedom, racial identity, and the search for the bee homeland. I'm seeing an animated film here...
