Researchers are concerned about the decline in bee colonies. Some blame hard winters. In a normal winter, the number of bees in a hive drops by more than 10 percent. However, in recent years, beekeepers have seen an annual fall of more than 30 percent in the number of bees in their hives. Some had losses of more than 50 percent, and some even lost almost 90 percent of their bees. Overall, the U.S. experienced a decline of more than 70% in its total bee population. However, this problem does not exist everywhere. In fact, globally, there has been an increase of over 45 percent in the number of hives, and honey production has also risen by over 100 percent in the last 50 years.

1. One of the happiest moment in my life was having dinner in Italy with my husband. We were on a little island on a lake, and we were eating outside at a restaurant. And there were these musicians who were playing music. The moment when we were watching the sunset was so romantic. I can't remember feeling happier.

2. I think the happiest day in my life was the day I was celebrating my 18th birthday playing volleyball on the beach. There were some other guys there who where playing a game, too, and we played against them. They were really good, winning felt really great. We've all stayed friends and getting together always reminds me of that day.

3. My earliest happy memory was winning the school spelling bee. I was feeling so proud when i stood there. Everyone in the audience was standing up and clapping. And i was seeing my parent's faces, it was the best moment. I was standing on the stage for ages and didn't want it all to end.
