Update for comparing two articles

NewYorkTimes article "Virus Is Seen as Suspect in Death of Honeybees"

USCongress excerpt "Congress report"

Similarities:
  • They both talk about May Berenbaum
  • National Academies
  • an unknown virus
  • CCD
  • the future of our food supply
  • bees being responsible for 90% of crop fertilization
  • DNA research

Differences:
  • The second article is from a very reliable source, the first not so much
  • The second article talks about possible solutions
  • The second article mentions different organizations and government departments
  • The first article centers around a virus being the cause of the bee deaths
  • The first article making the virus connection to a similar virus in Israeli and Australia
  • The second article centers around the disease CCD as the cause of death
