Beeologics certainly fueled the idea that IAPV causes CCD:

> Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) poses a serious threat to apiculture and agriculture worldwide and CCD-related losses (direct and indirect) have been estimated at $75 billion. Most recently, a metagenomic survey has indicated a close association between CCD and IAPV. Treatment with dsRNA may be developed to be effective in the field, protecting hives from IAPV, and possibly from CCD.

> Based on the postulation that IAPV is a causal agent or a prerequisite for CCD, protection from IAPV infection should lead to the prevention of future development of CCD. The silencing approach also degrades transcripts of IAPV sequences (as suggested by the real-time qPCR results). Therefore, the results presented in this paper could potentially be used to overcome CCD. 

From: "IAPV, a bee-affecting virus associated with Colony Collapse Disorder can be silenced by dsRNA ingestion." Insect Molecular Biology (2009) 18(1), 55–60

Of course, if IAPV doesn't cause CCD, or CCD doesn't exist as a distinct entity, they don't have a market. We have heard very little from them of late. We wonder what happened.
