Here we go!

That's like saying, is solar power killing the bees?

It's pure prattle with zero evidence.


Well, there was that study they noted. What do you think is causing it?


From what I understand it is most likely a fungus, virus, or microbe.

What are examples of topics that the CCD working group is not currently
investigating? GMO crops: Some GMO crops, specifically Bt Corn have been
suggested as a potential cause of CCD. While this possibility has not been
ruled out, CCD symptoms do not fit what would be expected in Bt affected
organisms. For this reason GMO crops are not a "top" priority at the moment.
