Honeybee colonies in the United States are currently embroiled in a potentially detrimental crisis. During the 12-month period which ended this April, at least 40% of American honeybee colonies died. These troubling statistics have inspired a variety of contentious debates on the possible causes and solutions to this growing problem, though no one bothered to consult Flea.

Flea, a.k.a. the coolest member of Red Hot Chili Peppers, recently installed 3 large beehives in his backyard as an extension of his passion for an environmentally conscious future. According to TMZ, Flea has been practicing the nearly lost art of beekeeping for a few months now and has "already mastered the craft."
