Sorting and delivering packages of live honeybees isn’t the favorite task of postal workers. Still, it is a job they have to handle more and more often. That’s because beekeepers in the United States and Europe have been losing bees to a mysterious condition known as colony1 collapse disorder, or CCD. Each mail-order package contains the seed of a new honeybee colony to replace one t...
