Mysterious Bee Disappearances Solved

Talking to my mother today on the phone, we got onto the topic of the disappearance of about a third of the honeybee population in the U.S. and the white-nose syndrome that is plaguing the bats of the New England states. She said: "Well, I know the answer to why the bees have been disappearing... it's simple... alien abductions."

Of Course! Why didn't I think of that sooner?
