Does anyone know anything about the problem? I saw a news story back

In the Southeast in the past few years, I've heard about several pine
beetle infestations. Lots of trees, healthy or not, were felled to
contain the spread when the pest was detected. I can only speculate
what's going on in Indiana--I simply don't know--but beetles would be
my guess.
