“The British government’s National Bee Unit denies the existence of CDD over  here, blaming the bloodsucking varroa mite and rainy summers that have stopped  bees foraging for food.”

Despite the observable fact that there are no bees, and reports of their disappearance by beekeepers, the British government stands firm: there is no CCD in Britain.

“Pesticides are believed to be a key cause of a crisis known as Colony Collapse Disorder”

Note the use of the passive voice: but who, precisely, believes that? The official investigation has ruled out all specific causes. CCD is rife in areas where the suspected pesticides are not used, notably Spain.

The authorities persist in ignoring the very powerful case that CCD is caused by EM radiation.

They also fail to link CCD to the disappearance of other species such as bats, small birds, butterflies, beetles etc.

The world faces a future with little meat and no cotton because of a catastrophic collapse in bee colonies, experts have warned.

Many vital crops are dependent on pollination by honeybees, but latest figures show a third failed to survive the winter in the U.S.

Disturbing evidence that honeybees are in terminal decline has emerged from the United States where, for the fourth year in a row, more than a third of colonies have failed to survive the winter.

The decline of the country’s estimated 2.4 million beehives began in 2006, when a phenomenon dubbed colony collapse disorder (CCD) led to the disappearance of hundreds of thousands of colonies. Since then more than three million colonies in the US and billions of honeybees worldwide have died and scientists are no nearer to knowing what is causing the catastrophic fall in numbers.
