Bees behaviour

[deli79]

Last Friday I accidentally tuned to NPR, and the "Science Friday" edition cought my attention. They were talking about disappering bees all over the country. I wasn't able to listen to the whole thing though.
Does anyone know anything about this?
and how does the map of bees genome can solve the mistery?

There are major parasite problems with at least the domestic bees, from a mite that I believe is non-native (of course, so are the bees).
