My mom won first prize for her bees and honey in New York State.
The following year they all died from a fungal infestation.

This was 20 years ago.

Now this fungal infestation has spread coast to coast and now threatens the California crops that do not have enough bees that have survived to pollinate their crops.

Here in Maryland the collapse of the bee population has led to a selective/limited introduction of tiny "sweet bees" to stem the tide of pollination problems.

Sorry to interject reality in an otherwise parody thread.
