Bee keepers gathered outside the Houses of Parliament to march to Downing Street to protest against the cut in research funding to protect honey bees, in London, Wednesday, Nov. 5, 2008. Scientists have been unable to determine the cause of a problem, known as Colony Collapse Disorder which has seen a dramatic decline in the number of honey bees. Possible explanations include pesticides, a new parasite or pathogen, or a combination of immune-suppressing stresses.
