University of Illinois entomologist May Berenbaum says the White House national strategy to address the decline in honeybee and monarch butterfly populations marks the federal government's first coordinated effort to deal with the issue.

But as bees have started disappearing en masse, there’s been more and more research into what’s really happening. This hour on Focus, we’ll talk with entomologist May Berenbaum about new findings that help scientists understand why bee colonies worldwide are collapsing.
