I think Hoagland is almost right, because he noted two things about the "industrialized" bees: 1) they've been sprayed a lot with fumigants to kill off parasites and 2) the "industrialized" bees are way too big for their own good. Note that the organic bees are still thriving extremely well, and organic bee farmers have not reported any heavy loss of bees.

IIRC, beekeepers seem to mostly use the same small number of species, so not much genetic variation available in case of trouble. It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature!

So you are not buying the multi-dimensional bee antenna theory?
