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.
