US bees operation keeping groups have been attacked seriously by so called Colony Collapse Disorder (蜂群衰竭失调).Almost 1/2 of their worker bees have vanished during the past season.This disorder has also been reported in Israel, Europe and South America.Bees fly away from the hive and never return.Sometimes they are found dead; other times they are never found.Many crops and trees depend on pollination--- by bees to help them grow. 

A new report says a virus may be at least partly responsible for the disorder in honey bee colonies in the United States.This virus is called Israeli acute paralysis virus.It was first found in Israel in 2004.Lan Lipkin at Columbia University in New York and a team reported the new findings in Science Magazine.Doctor Lipkin says the virus may not be the only cause.He says it may work with other causes to produce the collapse disorder.

The team found the virus in colonies with the help of a map of honey bee genes that was published last year.They examined thirty colonies affected by the disorder.They found evidence of the virus in twenty-five of them, and in one healthy colony.The next step is further testing of healthy hives.

The researchers suggested that the United States may have imported the disorder in bees from Australia.They say the bees may carry the virus but not be affected.

The idea is that unlike many American bees, the ability of Australian bees to fight disease has not been hurt by the varroasis mite.This insect attacks honey bees, which could make the disorder more likely to affect a hive.Australian bee producers object to these suspicions.

And some researchers suspect that bee production in the United States is down mainly because of the weather.Honey bees gather nectar from flowers and trees.The sweet liquid gives them food and material to make honey.But cold weather this spring in the Midwest reduced the flow of nectar in many flowers.Many bees may have starved.Dry weather in areas of the country could also be playing apart.

Wayne Esaias is a NASA space agency scientist who keeps bees in his free time.He lives in central Maryland, where he has found that flowers are blooming a month earlier than they did in 1970, which may be partly responsible for the disorder. Wayne Esaias is organizing a group of beekeepers to document nectar flow around the country.

送孟东野序
韩愈

        大凡物不得其平则鸣:草木之无声,风挠之鸣。水之无声,风荡之鸣。其跃也,或激之;其趋也,或梗之;其沸也,或炙之。金石之无声,或击之鸣。人之于言也亦然,有不得已者而后言。其歌也有思,其哭也有怀,凡出乎口而为声者,其皆有弗平者乎!乐也者,郁于中而泄于外者也,择其善鸣者而假之鸣。金、石、丝、竹、匏、土、革、木八者,物之善鸣者也。维天之于时也亦然,择其善鸣者而假之鸣。是故以鸟鸣春,以雷鸣夏,以虫鸣秋,以风鸣冬。四时之相推敚,其必有不得其平者乎?

        其于人也亦然。人声之精者为言,文辞之于言,又其精也,尤择其善鸣者而假之鸣。其在唐、虞,咎陶、禹,其善鸣者也,而假以鸣,夔弗能以文辞鸣,又自假于《韶》以鸣。夏之时,五子以其歌鸣。伊尹鸣殷,周公鸣周。凡载于《诗》、《书》六艺,皆鸣之善者也。周之衰,孔子之徒鸣之,其声大而远。传曰:“天将以夫子为木铎。”其弗信矣乎其末也庄周以其荒唐之辞鸣楚大国也其亡也以屈原鸣。臧孙辰、孟轲、荀卿,以道鸣者也。杨朱、墨翟、管夷吾、晏婴、老聃、申不害、韩非、慎到、田骈、邹衍、尸佼、孙武、张仪、苏秦之属,皆以其术鸣。秦之兴,李斯鸣之。汉之时,司马迁、相如、扬雄,最其善鸣者也。其下魏晋氏,鸣者不及于古,然亦未尝绝也。就其善者,其声清以浮,其节数以急,其辞淫以哀,其志弛以肆;其为言也,乱杂而无章。将天丑其德莫之顾邪?何为乎不鸣其善鸣者也!

        唐之有天下,陈子昂、苏源明、元结、李白、杜甫、李观,皆以其所能鸣。其存而在下者,孟郊东野始以其诗鸣。其高出魏晋,不懈而及于古,其他浸淫乎汉氏矣。从吾游者,李翱、张籍其尤也。三子者之鸣信善矣。抑不知天将和其声,而使鸣国家之盛邪,抑将穷饿其身,思愁其心肠,而使自鸣其不幸邪?三子者之命,则悬乎天矣。其在上也奚以喜,其在下也奚以悲!东野之役于江南也,有若不释然者,故吾道其于天者以解之。(选自《古文观止》)
