I have been following this pretty closely. I actually spoke with an
organic beekeeper recently. (I live in Southern California). She
suspects the GM crops, most specifically GM corn. It is in the corn
syrup that the conventional bee growers feed when they have sold all
the honey. Also in the ethanol used in the US. I think Europe has
other sources for ethanol.
I actually think it is a variety of causes and that it is not
necessary to have all the causes present to get the bees to exit a hive.
1) cell phones and cell phone towers.
2) GM
3) insecticides
4) Varroa mite
5) The bees are just bloody well tired of being exploited.
The significance of these factors is not necessarily in the order of
their appearance.
Just my thoughts,
Yolanda
