What's causing the honey bee population to drop?

The increased use of neonicotinoids, a specific chemical pesticide has led to the decline of bees. When Honey bees are exposed to lethal levels of the toxin they will experience problems with flight and navigation, this also causes the Queen bee to become infertile. Unable to fly, the bees are unable to return back to their hive.

Recent studies have found that bees are affected by atmospheric electromagnetic radiation as a result of growing number of cell phones and wireless communication towers. The signal from cell phones not only confuses the bees but often leads to their death.

Global Warming is exaggerating the growth rates of mites, viruses, and fungi, which has been shown to negatively affect bees. These parasites/pathogens end up killing the bees. The quick change in temperature is also wreaking havoc on bee populations.
