Bee Colony Collapse Threatens Civilization

From the first exhausted field caused by not rotating crops to the current bee crisis, the human experiment with agriculture has been a continuing ecological disaster. Rich biodiversity has been replaced by monoculture, but not only with plants, but with bees. This renders the species liable to collapse from a single agent, it's happening again to bananas and most frightening, to bees. Without bees, the whole agricultural system collapses. Thanks Green Revolution!
