(YouTube link) Watch Bee Boy do a hip-hop dance for his hive! It is a fact of nature: When a honey bee returns to the hive after finding a good source of nectar, it will perform a unique dance for its hive mates, detailing the distance, quality and quantity of the new food supply. Sadly, honey bees are [...]

Bees are disappearing . We've been over that, and so has the rest of the Internet. But making viral videos is hard . So now YouTube is catching up with the news and there is, bizarrely, a trend of disappearing bee videos. First, there was the melodramatic approach (with humans in bee suits ): The most recent one we've seen is maybe a little more conceptual and... bass-y (with humans...

Unless you’ve been asleep for the last year or two, you’ll know by now that Colony Collapse Disorder is posing a very real and imminent threat to the world’s honeybees, and consequently to global food production (one third of all agricultural crops rely on bees for pollination!). Luckily, many corporations involved in food production are pitching in to support research and action to...

Bees are disappearing and nobody can really pinpoint why. It's called Colony Collapse disorder and could be caused by disease, a virus, genetically modified crops or even cell phones. And now it's seeping into pop culture, so you just know it's serious. As in losing one-third of our fruit and veggies serious. When a honey bee returns to the hive after finding a good source of nectar, it will perform...

The pitch was interesting. "Haagen-Daz is really committed to raise the awareness level of the Colony Collapse Disorder that is plaguing the Western Bee Population. "Honey bees are disappearing at an alarming rate and Haagen-Dazs is doing its part to bring awareness to this important environmental crisis." "In addition to funding a group of leading bee researchers and beekeepers at the University...

By B.L. Ochman This successful viral ad is a classic. People loved the drum playing Cadbury Gorilla because it was unlike anything they'd ever seen. It was creative, fun, more than a little weird, and not a heavy-handed sales message. It's been spoofed, mashed up, and it's won awards. And it's been passed from friend to friend to friend - millions of times. This attempt at viral marketing is a failure....

Haagen-Dazs is fighting to save honey bees. To help raise awareness, Haagen-Dazs dressed some dancers in bee costumes and pressed record. Love it. All because honey bees are disappearing at an alarming rate and we rely on them for one-third of our natural food. On a related topic, I just read [...]

I've nothing against bees. Well, I don't like it when they sting me. And I get a bit nervous when they're in close proximity to me...because the risk of them stinging me increases exponentially. But that's not to say I no longer want them around. And right now the fact that they're not around has scientists scratching their heads--they can't understand why honey bees are just *poof!* dying out. It's...

Posted by Sandy Smith on Growers & Grocers There are mysteries in nature that are simply awe-inspiring: Penguin fathers braving the Antarctic superfreeze to incubate their eggs. Two-hundred-ton blue whales subsisting on microscopic krill (about 10,000 pounds a day). Bioluminescent jellyfish, fungi, insects, fairies. (Just kidding about that last one, folks.) And then there’s that thing that [...]

So, what do honey bees really do in their hives? A little freestylin’, a little river dance. All the usual things you’d do on a Saturday night. You haven’t lived until you’ve seen a grown man in a bee suit doing the river dance, but there is a serious message behind “Yo, where my bees [...]
