There was also a baby born in Virginia Beach at 14:15 on 11/12/13. Heard about a different baby born at 9:10 on 11/12/13 also, but can't remember where that one was from.
Actually last year I seen more honey bees than I had the past 4 years total. This spring, so far, I have seen a good many. So they might not be doing well in some areas, but they are doing better in others.
Regardless though, my Grandfather, a long-time beekeeper, dealt with something similar back in the '70s when they said the bees were dying off. It took a couple years and they all came back. Like everything in this world, it's a cycle.
@Jonnette: Trust me, it isn't. My cat lets me spin him on the floor. If cats don't want you to do something, they will definitely let you know about it. The cat in that video appears to be quite happy (as is my cat when he is spun) and is quite loved (as is mine). :)
