Pesticides appear to play a great role in cases of colony collapse. For example, neonicotinoids appear to impact bee behavior in ways that easily provide the opportunity for illnesses and parasites to strike when a bee already has a poor diet and a hampered immune system. A neonicotinoid is a newer form of pesticide which is produced in the form of pellets and put into the soil. When watered, the crops absorb the chemicals from these pellets through their roots. This makes them pest-resistant…

The bees began breeding with native honeybees, and their descendants quickly expanded…

The incident spanned over five months and was documented by Bell Labs employee Bill Cheswick. The intruder referred to as Berferd was monitored by Cheswick; Cheswick noted “I could buy them some time to lock down machines, build tools, and trace him…
According to Wayne Ellwood “A quarter of all US beekeepers had suffered losses and more than 30 percent of all bee colonies in the country were completely wiped out” Even though bees play a major part in the world for pollinating there has been a major decline in the population. From increased uses of pesticides, insecticide and fungicides being used of crops and gardens the bees who pollinate are picking up those chemicals. Thus bringing it back to the colony and possibly poisoning the whole…
