• title: The Case of The Vanishing Bees
• summary: "On a fine June morning last year at a Target store outside Portland, Oregon, customers arrive to a startling sight: the parking lot was covered with a seething mat of bumblebees, some staggering around, most already dead, more raining down from above. The die-off lasted several days."

Note: If the article is being precise with its terminology, the bees killed in Portland were not honeybees, although the rest of the article does focus on honeybees. See "Bumblebee [W]".
