Bad Science Doesn't Help Bees - Bloomberg View

  1. This is a pretty interesting/interactive infographic that explains a bit more about colony collapse disorder. In the studies I have read, the Varroa mite and the growth in monoculture farming have contributed more to CCD than the insecticides. Overall, I think the genetic diversity of the bee population has been shrinking, and while this does not necessarily kill the bees, it makes the population far more vulnerable.
