It is a problem in crop pollination. I’ve followed CCD (colony collapse disorder) for a long time as a Master Gardener.

However, no one to date has much in the way of specifics to the cause. The enviro weeenies immediately run to pesticides, but cannot confirm any specific. (normal)

Since 1904 there have been 5 cycles of measured loss of honeybees. Research has yet to explain those cycles. They have come back each time.

I thought researchers had found the cause of this outbreak of CCD (a parasite) and had a viable remedy. I am phobic about bees but not the honeybee. we depend on them for so much.
