<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>PULLMAN,
Wash. — Recent research by scientists at Washington State University
suggests two potential contributors to Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), a
mysterious malady that has slowly wiped out large numbers of bee hives
throughout the United States in recent years, may be trace pesticides often
found in old honeycombs and a new microscopic pathogen that has been quietly
spreading throughout the Pacific Northwest and other regions of the country.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
