**The website below provides food for thought. Bee colony collapse has
been seen this year in US, Canada and 9 European Countries.
There are differences in some countries , there are no dead bees in the
infected hives while in others there are few dead bees. Europe has not
had the same late winter that was seen in eastern US and
Canada.Pesticides seem to be the most common suspects and GM crops may
provide an additional impact to that of pesticides and the bee's immune
system may be a fragile component in the problem. The bee's immune
system is similar, in many respects to that of humans according to the
website.
