A mystery, then?  How and/or why did the bees disappear? Several known reasons exist for colony collapses, but I’m wondering, if not hoping, that Georgia’s response will provide something new. After all, there is not much of a mystery if Georgia simply pulls out a list of the usual causes and points to “Reason 3”. But I sure hope that Honest Ernest is not connected with this mystery.

Cherry has another mystery to solve. Her last one involved the case of neighborhood pets getting an unknown rash, eventually shown to be caused by Honest Ernest’s new grass growth fertilizer (see “Rash Decisions”). This new mystery suggests a possible career reboot for Cherry:  Cherry Trail: Private Nature Detective & Landscaper.  It pays to diversify!
