Yes, the colony collapse disorder is still a very bad problem. The CCD is trying to enhance the bees health.

Why do drone bees have to leave the hive?

After the end of the breeding season, the drones (males) are no longer required and as they do no work but still have to be fed, they are an unnecessary drain on the colony's resources so they are ejected from the hive.


Why does your fish float at the top but is still alive?

A fish floating at the surface could be due to swim bladder issues, which can disrupt their ability to regulate buoyancy. It might struggle to swim down due to this issue but still be alive. A vet visit could help diagnose and treat the problem.


Can bees survive without a queen?

If a queen dies, then the worker bees will feed royal jelly to some of the larvae and they will turn into queen bees. The first one out will kill all the others, so there will only be one Queen Bee in the hive. This is still a dead end until the queen finds a drone, mates and gets down into the business of egg laying.


How many species of ants are there in the world?

It is absolutely impossible to know how many fire ants there are in the world. The number of ants in one colony can be thousands upon thousands.


What happens if a queen ant dies?

After you kill the queen all the ants will die in starvation. Some species of ants will still continue to do work even though the queen died. Sometimes ants will come, but it won't likely happen. Also if the queen dies another ant becomes the new queen. This reminds me of something that happened to me as a child. i got ants from the top of my garden, then from the bottom of the garden, got the queens from both and put them in a jar together. the 2 ant colonies had a war with each other. It was AWESOME! after a few minutes one of the queens got severly injured (the other queens ants attacked it) and started limping. so then i let the ants go. the bottom of the garden ants returned home and so did the top of the garden ants, then 5 minutes later i saw some ants dragging the (now dead) injured queen back to the colony.

How are bees dying?

Colony Collapse Disorder is a mechanism which is causing the death of worker bees and the corresponding, sudden collapse of the bee colony/hive. The exact cause is still unknown, although there is a lot of research in this area. The only factor that seems common to all cases of CCD is "nutritional stress", where the colony has suffered from malnutrition prior to the event.


What solutions are there to bees dying?

There have been lots of theories throughout the world as to the reasons for Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). However, there is still no hard scientific evidence to prove any of the theories. As individuals, we could all stop using insecticides and plant some bee-friendly flowers and shrubs to give the bees as much help as possible.
