The idea that pesticides cause CCD is fashionable now that everything else has been ruled out leaving only the horrible spectre of admitting the life-destroying role of the mobile telecommunications networks, so dear to the consumer, the military-industrial complex and the intelligence services. However, there are problems with this thesis. As the Canadian Honey Council puts it:

“To the beekeeper, the most obvious sign of pesticide poisoning is the presence of an exceptional number of dead bees in front of the hives.”

But the defining feature of CCD is precisely that dead bees are not found near to the hives.

One would also not expect pesticides to wipe out bees in remotes areas like the highlands of Scotland as reported here nor to wipe out wild bees before colonies specifically used for crop pollination.

A good try, and rigorously politically correct, but CCD remains a mystery until one starts looking at the role of EM radiation not only in wiping out bees, but also butterflies, moths, beetles, flies, bats, small birds, migratory birds, all the way up to, in the last analysis, our good selves.
