I have placed my analysis of the causes of Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD),
the phenomenon creating havoc in the beekeeping industry online.
Denial of the Mechanisms of Natural Selection and Colony Collapse Disorder
(C.C.D.)
A explanation of the major cause of the worldwide problem afflicting
Honeybees, made in terms of modern evolutionary science and the traditional
practices of plant and animal husbandry
Abstract: This article will argue that denial of the mechanisms of natural
selection is the single most important cause of ill health in both
domestic and feral Honeybee populations. I will outline the factors that obstruct
natural selection for fitness to the environment in domestic hives, and the
impact of uncontrolled crossbreeding upon feral colonies.

I will be very grateful for any thoughts from the permaculture community.
