Honeybee apocalypse: Up to 12 million bees dead and dying in Florida and no one knows why

Honeybee carcasses coated the ground around hundreds of Florida beehives after a mysterious massacre claimed millions of bees and mutilated a way of life for local bee keepers.
Experts have ruled out ‘colony collapse disorder’ and the bee keepers suspect that their bees were poisoned with pesticide. Florida agriculture officials and the local sheriff’s office are both investigating.
No one can tell yet what killed as many as 12 million bees from 800 hives this week in Brevard County, on central Florida’s Atlantic coast.
The massive bee die-off has stung Charles Smith, whose Smith Family Honey Company lost $150,000 worth of bees.
