One cause of these losses is an alarming phenomenon called Colony Collapse Disorder, or “CCD.” When a hive experiences CCD, the honey bees mysteriously desert their hive and die. CCD symptoms have been reported by more than thirty-five states across the U.S. and in many other countries.
Researchers do not know exactly what causes CCD, but … (8 comments)

Amanda took to her cell phone like a duck takes to water. Her little fingers dancing across the keys put out thousands of texts every month. You could have 5 teenagers … (19 comments)
