First there were Free Hugs. Now there are Bee Hugs for everyone! But what if there were no bees left to hug? Colony collapse disorder is causing bees to disappear in droves. And if they go, we all go. Umbra,on her best bee-havior, talks with New York City's Bee Manto get the buzz on how we can all help -- then takes to the streets for some honey-lovin' hijinks.
