Is this where all the bees have been disappearing to? Did we unintentionally find the honeybee Zion? Are we the sentinels?

    the CCD, likely was due to a combination pesticides, climate change and forced to foraging only specific flowers, and it only mostly affected the european honeybees. other factors include a specific type of virus, the Varroa destructor mite and inbreed. it seems other types of honyebees are more resistant, like africanized or more aggressive type of bees.
