I saw this on tv the other day. Was much the same with frogs a while back, IIRC.
Except for that honey making bidness! :P
Should be better now.
Frogs have little impact on the reproduction of other species, although they are quite sensitive to environmental quality, and as such make good indicators of trouble ahead.
Bees, on the other hand are essential for the propogation of vast numbers of plant species. If that many plants go at once, then the effect on the the food chain would be catastrophic.
That's us, f'ing around with Mother Nature... :no:
