There's been a lot of talk about the mountain pine beetle's laying waste to British Columbia's forests, but few people actually know how the critter goes about its destructive task. The story, like so many, begins with innocent licking. But it ends, if you're a pine tree, in utter ruin.

For a different angle on the story, go to the Spring issue of Granville, and Dorothy Bartoszewski's "The bug that ate B.C."
