SEBASTOPOL -- The life of a honey bee these days is not so sweet: nearly 50 percent of them died off last year. Take your pick of reasons: Parasites, pesticides, starvation, global warming.

Asked if these data will be heartbreaking for people who keep bees and think they're doing the right thing, Thiele buried his head in his hands.Thiele's organization has designed tree nests which mimic the nest attributes and conditions of wild honeybees. Apis Arborea has hung about 150 of the tree nests throughout Northern California and they're studying the results of the deployment.
