Honey bees are a perfect example of a biological indicator, meaning that their status is a reflection of the general health of the environment. The rapid loss of colonies initiated by CCD in the U.S. and around the globe is alarming because the loss of bees may signal a decline in the health of the planet. It is possible that bee losses may be a symptom of a much greater environmental problem.
