Are Bees and Bats in US dying from the same thing?

being quote:"What is known is that the syndrome leaves small, white, fungal spots around the nose and mouth of the tiny nocturnal animals.
The bats have been woken prematurely from their winter hibernation and, with their fat reserves seriously depleted, their natural impulse is to forage for food." endquote.
The fungal spots that are symptomatic of the syndrome appear to awaken the bats too early from their hibernations for them to survive it. Is this fungus related to what is also killing bees.
Also, the past 10 to 20 years many types of mold and fungus appear to becoming more deadly to both animals and humans. One theory might be that antibiotics in water supplies might be mutating mold spores and fungus into things more lethal to bees and mammals.
To the best of my ability I write about my experience of the Universe Past, Present and Future
