Add to ORKGOver the past few years the world’s agriculture and food systems have become increasingly industrialized with the goal of greater efficiency. Since 2004 scientists and farmers alike have begun to see a decline in bee populations, a phenomenon which has been given the name Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). At the same time, many scientists and farmers have come to recognize the important role that pollinators such as bees play in our ecosystems and agroecosystems and how the processes of intensification of agriculture (including the use of pesticides, changes in land use and monocropping) are affecting bee populations all over the world.
