The crisis threatens pollination of key crops and has led to financial ruin for many beekeepers. Scientists cite climate change, habitat loss, pesticide use, varroa mites, and poor handling as potential causes.

Despite increased colony numbers from rising beekeeper interest, loss rates continue to surge, endangering agriculture and ecosystems.

I'm sorry, I'm on the wrong continent. And I won't travel to the US even if you gave me a pile of money.

Or to El Salvador.
