There’s some evidence suggesting that CCD may be a symptom of commercial farmers over-stressing their hives.

RE: A new theory... by Anonymous :: NR0

Although our honeybee was imported from Europe, crops, such as almonds, that have been planted with the expectation that massive pollination will be available from relocated beehives, cannot be adequately serviced by naturally occurring insects. I, for one, would like to see more research to determine if genetically modified crops, especially corn and the corn syrup being fed to bees, might be the principal culprit. More than likely, however, those wonderful people who gave us aspartame will win out in this battle, too.
