Colony Collapse Disorder

Where have all the bees gone?

"Colony collapse disorder is the rapid loss of adult worker bees from the colony over a very short period of time". Commercial beekeepers would set their bees near a crop field as usual and come back in two or three weeks to find the hives bereft of foraging worker bees, with only the queen and the immature insects remaining. Whatever worker bees survived were often too weak to perform their tasks.

CNN - Mysterious honeybee killer could make dinner bland, USDA official: "This is the biggest general threat to our food supply"! Holy crap, is anyone paying attention? "The problem started in November and seems to have spread to 27 states, with similar collapses reported in Brazil, Canada and parts of Europe." I'm not sure about the one colony I know of here in Newfoundland, I could try and find out, I'm curious to know if we might be isolated enough for whatever it is that is causing this.
