The last episode, where the honeybee population collapsed, left me on the edge of my seat. I can't wait to see what happens next.

edit: Seriously, wouldn't it be best to solve existing problems with direct threat to food production than to go off tinkering with new ideas and unknown side-effects?

Note that honeybees are livestock.

Their presence in the US is itself an example of manipulating the environment to our own ends.
