this has been solved....got this from a leftist source but know for a fact (a friends son is a bee keeper) it is true.

Bayer’s neonicotinoid pesticides, which now coat upwards of 90 percent of US corn seeds and seeds of increasing portions of other major crops like soy, have emerged as a likely trigger for colony collapse disorder.
Meanwhile, the Columbus Dispatch reports similar bee die-offs in Ohio farm country, with beekeepers there, too, pointing the finger at Bayer.

The 90 something year old farmer I buy honey from just shrugs his shoulders and says the numbers rise and fall.

He expects the numbers to be down this year because of the March thaw followed by a cold snap. It was a double whammy because the bees became active early and then the flower buds froze.

There`s a crazy late night radio program I call “The Sasquatch show”, in reality its called Am coast 2 coast with George Norry.They had a fellow on a while back that said the bees are being killed by a build up of a new class of insecticide called Nicotinoids. He was adamant that these compounds are building up in the soils and water and it`s these compounds that are weakening and thus, helping to kill off the bees.

I am sure the gene splicing of natural insecticides into food crops is not helping. And since it has been discovered that the gene modifications are spreading through nature, I would suspect the insecticide mods are spreading too.

I have heard on that very imformative radio show CoasttocoastAM - when it isnt being loony - that the pesticides built into their seeds (not only get to the bees but) get into our guts - just like into the seeds - and actually grow there.

Ya gotta be dumb to want to eat that GMO stuff. Of course the gov is criminal to allow it. Payoffs of course.

Bees, like other animals, use the magnetic grid to find their way around. Cell phone towers, which no one wants to get rid of (and therefore will not call them the boogie man) send out signals that interfere with the bees perceptions. They can't find their way home.

Fish get beached when the grid is disturbed (HAARP). Birds crash into each other and fall to the ground. Even the human brain has a specific hertz (6-8) that gets disturbed (which could explain a lot of strange behaviors we're seeing today).
Because people can't see magnetic waves (but can feel them, even if they don't realize it), they don't consider them as the source. They forget they exist.

And yes, we're bee keepers (for 19 years so far). Being country folks, we're not as suceptable to the grid interferance as those in the cities.
Maybe that's why our animals live so long out here. They live forever! Our cat lived 18 years. Our goats excedend their average life span by 9 years! Some of our chickens lived so long, people asked why our chickens looked so deformed - they were really, really old! They just kept going and going. (We joke around about nothing ever dieing up here.)

Waiting for somebody like Thomas Friedman to say it’s due to climate change - the cause of everything bad.

In January, I found honeybees feeding inside my bird feeder. I use black oil sunflower seeds and I think they were feeding off the oil on the seeds. Never seen that before.

Not in my neck of the woods.

Usually more of them around than I could shake a stick at!

They live in the ground around here, I’ve been doing alot of start-gardening, will probably see them any day now.
