Buzz, Not

I had no idea about the bees. The headline ("the sudden death of the nation's bees") is a bit alarmist compared to the text ("Last fall, the nation's beekeepers watched in horror as more than a quarter of their 2.4 million colonies collapsed"), and perhaps it's just a fluke and the bees will return, better and buzzier than ever, but still, this is the kind of article that makes one shiver and think perhaps it is better not to know and then feel really bad for thinking that.
