There is no conclusive evidence that indicates any chemical is responsible for CCD, if it were so, it would be showing up in the bodies that are being sampled.
This article on the BBK does smell, actually wreak of a Pay Off though.

Germany banned Bayer chemicals very recently because they found the chemicals in the dead honeybees, not because of CCD.QuoteThis article on the BBK does smell, actually wreak of a Pay Off though. A 20K pounds a year payoff to the organization, to be precise.
sorry ,,,I was more on the pay part then the CCD,, I dont like when the main money comes from one company,,, and to say in there ads that there promoted by beekeepers.... the CCD thing is not my way of thiking ....the kid
I'm not drawing any casual links, it is common knowledge that test for chemicals in bees with CCD issues has been NON-CONCLUSIVE.

Excuse me, but did I say that you did? No. Thanks for playing. Reinforces my point that people need to do their reading before connecting the situation with Bayer and BBKA with CCD.
Well Daddy's girl your ill mannered remark was made right after you quoted me. You can look at how it unfolded above.

Yes, you jumped to a conclusion without reading what I wrote, and perhaps even what you wrote. And when you wrote:"Have you been doing your homewwork???"I naturally assumed that you had done yours. My mistake. Might be a new beek, but I've been reading for decades.BTW, thank you, the kid, for posting the original post. It's an issue that I think American beekeepers need to watch, because I am certain that the agri-chem companies are at least as willing to corrupt over here--and they generally have defacto government support in their activities.
