Fungus Is Killing Bees - Not Japanese Wasps or Cell Phones
[link to www.latimes.com]

A fungus that caused widespread loss of bee colonies in Europe and Asia may be playing a crucial role in the mysterious phenomenon known as Colony Collapse Disorder that is wiping out bees across the United States, UC San Francisco researchers said Wednesday.

Researchers have been struggling for months to explain the disorder, and the new findings provide the first solid evidence pointing to a potential cause.

BS

It's related to a disruption in regular electromagnetic fields.

Bees and birds are both dying.

Both rely on the Earth's electromagnetic grid for navigation.

No, I'm a critical realist.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 229060


Definition of Critical Realism is; A philosophical view of science and/or theology which asserts that our knowledge of the world refers to the-way-things-really-are, but in a partial fashion which will necessarily be revised as that knowledge develops.

And with your refusal to accept direct information as to a possible cause of the Bee's demise you have disqualified yourself as a Critical Realist...

The scientist in the article says there's more than just a fungus responsible. Researchers throughout the world are working hard on this global threat and we all wish them well in stopping the devastation.

A fungus would not account for the queen and baby bees left alone in the hive, while the other bees have gone missing.

Another anomaly is the absence and change in the behavior of robber bees.

Robber bees are not members of a hive, but find hives by scent. They enter the hive and steal the honey and pollen.

In this colony collapse disorder, the robber bees are not touching the hives and not taking the honey.

So far, they can't explain why this is happening. It's almost like what happens with animal mutilations, when they say that normal predators and insects won't touch the animal. I'm not saying it is...just saying that it's similar behavior.

"....Bees from both dead hives and dwindling hives were collected and dissected.

The dead hives all have the following common conditions:

Plenty of stores of honey and bee bread.
Honey has not been robbed
Other bees, wax moths and hive beetles appear reluctant to forage in the hive
Few or no dead bees in the hive or in front of the hive
Capped brood

Hives that are in the process of dwindling exhibit the following:

Presence of a queen and only a small work force
Bees refuse to eat sugar syrup, honey or other food
Few or no dead bees in the hive or in front of the hive
