It's just one of my hunches (that are usually correct, eventually) but I
think that CCD is a Horizontal Gene Transfer of GMO genes into the
bacteria in bees' guts, giving them the equivalent of AIDS, suppressing
their immune systems so profoundly that the next common pathogen they
contact kills them. If this attachment stays on, it tells the chilling
story of what we know (and don't) about HGTs. It's like a smart
person's call to arms against GMOs. Congress has to get them out of the
landscape now or we face the most grave danger ever, I think.
Apparently this guy had to go all the way to New Zealand to be able to
tell the truth about GMOs.
