Fifty thousand bumblebees will be honored in a memorial this weekend in Oregon at the Wilsonville Target where a majority of the insects died. State officials directly linked the die-off to trees that had been sprayed with insecticide. Rozzell Medina, of Portland, said on a Facebook page that the event will "memorialize these fallen lifeforms and talk about the plight of the bees and their importance to life on Earth."
