HoneybeeIf you haven't heard, honeybees are going the way of the dodo, if we don't do something fast to help them. Well the good news is that scientists are on the way to finding a way to help the honeybee colonies. And apparently all the little bees need is a shot of good ole antibiotics.

Scientists in Spain studied two apiaries and found evidence of honeybee colony depopulation syndrome, or colony collapse disorder as its known in the U.S.. They found no other sources of diease other than an infection with N.ceranae, a parasite. They have since treated the infected colonies with an antibiotic and these colonies have made a complete recovery! 

I hope this is the answer to saving the honeybees! We need those little guys!
