While I am certainly unhappy to see evidence that colony collapse disorder has spread to Britain, this article is rather hyperbolic. Even if every honeybee dies, it is unlikely we will live in a world with no meat or fruit or cotton. It would be very sad to live in a world with no honey, of course, and all those other things might cost more, if alternative ways of getting soybeans and cotton and fruit pollinated cost more.
