Alarmingly, over the last three years more than 1 in 3 bee colonies have died nationwide. Researchers are calling this mysterious bee disappearance Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), a condition that could threaten the U.S. food supply. Scientists say that the future situation for honey bees is dire since the average age of a beekeeper is 60 years old. Christopher wants to change that, by reinstating the Boy Scout Beekeeping merit badge, in order to train a younger population to help protect the honey bee. Christopher has enlisted the support of beekeeping organizations around the country that have agreed to help train the young people interested in beekeeping. We urge you to show your support for Christopher and his important mission.
