WILSONVILLE, Ore. (AP) — Workers on Friday plan to wrap bee-proof netting around blooming trees in the parking lot of an Oregon shopping center in an attempt to prevent the deaths of more bees. Portland-area bee experts with the Xerces (ZERK-zees) Society for Invertebrate Conservation estimate at least 25,000 bumble bees have died in the lot since last weekend. The bees were clustered under dozens of linden trees.
Oregon Agriculture Department officials confirm thousands of dead bees.
The Oregonian reports (http://is.gd/XIiNip ) that Agriculture officials are working with the Xerces Society, the city of Wilsonville and the distributor of an insecticide.
State officials say tests to confirm the cause of the deaths could take two or three more days. They are checking for insecticides as well as possible natural causes.
Wilsonville is southwest of Portland.
Oh no! Something's got to be done to protect the bees! I feel for them. They've been going through so much lately... all of the work they do for their queen without any reward, and now this
Yeah because 25,000 Beyoncé fans all dying at the same time, same place is completely logical.
Could've been a mass suicide after hearing that they had to be patient for Bey's album and continuing to have snippets thrown at them. It's like giving a starving bird one measly bread crumb.
I want to say THIS!!! this wouldn't be good for our world tho
Bees dying is just as bad, though. All Beyhive shade aside, Bees are the world's primary pollinators and fertilization would virtually stall without them and they are at risk for extinction.

You are heartless.
