It's a tiny mite, about the size of the tip of a pencil, which is causing an imbalance with Mother Nature. The mite latches onto bees and sucks the life out of them. And when they don't kill them, it passes on a deadly virus, causing the entire bee population to decline.

"It's very serious primarily to the agriculture industry because $15 billion pollination for fruits and vegetables," said Phillip Carter, Wildlife Agent.
