Honey bees, bumblebees and other pollinators play a huge role in our food supply and ecosystems, but they face new and increasing threats. Fortunately, science is finding new clues about how to address colony collapse and other contributors to the decline of bees in two little-explored places: the guts and brains of the bees themselves. Two biologists weigh in on promising new discoveries that may be the key to ensuring the survival of these incredible species that we all depend on.
