> >3.  Has anyone noted the definition of CCD being changed by anyone in response to the Harvard study?

I just got back from State College, PA. One recent study of colony survival set the incidence of CCD in that particular group of hives at .5% (1 in 200). In February Marla Spivak referred to a similar percentage in bees she was studying. I guess they will have to change the definition, if the press and the environuts want to keep the feeding frenzy going.
