The British honey bee and most other bees were wiped out by a strain of Spanish flu that occurred at the end of World War I and into 1919.

Pliny the Elder's keen sense of observation was to be the death of him.
As Vesuvius erupted on the 24th of August 79AD, Pliny, who had escaped, was overcome with curiosity and the desire to save his friends.
So, he returned by boat with a pillow tied to his face with a napkin to make an improvised crash-helmet/gas mask combo.
He suffocated.
