Experts's advice
THE AMERICAN Beekepers have experienced this Colony Collapse Disorder within their Apiaries they manage.
There are various theories and reasons bantered about from mobile phone towers, electric field disruption & degradation of ecological systems as to the source of this disappearance of bees.
Consider some other views on the matter:
1) American beekeepers tend to focus on a monocrop source of nectar and possibly pollen, where applicable, i.e. almonds, sunflowers or such.
2) Their bees dont get much of a break pollinating all year round.
3) It's a combination that, in my view, means overmanaged and probably undernurished bee colonies.
4) Bees will leave under these circumstances wherever they live.
