1. THE REASON
an unknown source in an undisclosed location has pinpointed the 5 causes of the hive collapse,
also know as the Bee Internal Terrorist Colony Holocost (BITCH), not to be confused with restless leg syndrom:

FIRST: Iraqi terrorist bees infected with diseases of mass destruction

SECOND: Darwinists for determining that the bee is an inferior species

THIRD: All of their sons have destroyed the environment (reference Sons Of Bs in the whitehouse)

FOURTH: Clearly they were morally outraged by Clinton's blow job

FIFTH: They are hiding there honey There so we can't steal it Here

3. I've heard that organic bee keepers are having no problems
the info is that commercial bee keeping is in trouble because of all the pesticides and antibiotics given to the bees. Man has ruined their natural co-existence with mites etc... and this is where the problem is coming from.

Again: ORGANIC BEE KEEPERS ARE NOT HAVING ANY PROBLEMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://groovygreen.com/groove/?p=1388

From the article:

"I'm on an organic beekeeping list of about 1,000 people, mostly Americans, and no one in the organic beekeeping world, including commercial beekeepers, is reporting colony collapse on this list. The problem with the big commercial guys is that they put pesticides in their hives to fumigate for varroa mites, and they feed antibiotics to the bees. They also haul the hives by truck all over the place to make more money with pollination services, which stresses the colonies."

4. Surprise! Organic Beekeepers Reporting Zero Losses

Go to these sites to learn more: here is a paragraph from the article:

2. So it is still a mystery as to what is really causing the bees to become ill
...and die. It does appear that it is affecting primarily the worker bees as I thought I heard the comment that "virtually all of the workers have died". That certainly suggests that perhaps the workers are affected because they are the ones that leave the hives to gather the nectar as the food for the hive and in that process are exposed to all sorts of environmental hazards such as pesticides, herbicides and other such toxins. Also, as this is only the third season from when the major die-offs began to occur it could still be too early to pin point a specific cause yet.

I was hoping to hear the use of such preventative techniques to isolate the disease occurrence as quarantine mandates, but nothing like that was mentioned. It appears that business as usual is still the order of the day. I am very surprised at that.
