Expect light posting this week...

...as I get ready for Music Week next week, and Stem Cell Week starting May 14. (A natural progression, wouldn't you say?)

So for today, try this article, describing attempts to solve the riddle of colony collapse disorder, now that the honeybee genome has been mapped. Money quote:

Researchers have found some fungi in the affected bees that are found in humans whose immune systems have been suppressed by AIDS or cancer.

"That is extremely unusual," [said Diana Cox-Foster, an entomologist at Pennsylvania State University].
