Jerry Hayes is an internationally recognized honey bee expert and columnist for the American Bee Journal.  In this interview, Hayes discusses the causes of Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), the first time he saw Africanized Honey Bees during the autopsy of a 900 lbs. horse, and the fascinating behavior of honey bees.

Hayes has been featured on the cover of Wired Magazine, featured in books about bees and at one point worked for Monsanto to try to stop the deadly bee parasite: the Varroa Mite.
