OK, let me rephrase.  The European beekeepers claim that something changed.

Here is the US, there have been three big changes in corn--Roundup ready (so
no more nutritious weeds), GMO corn (possible nosema/Bt toxin interaction),
and neonics.

Neither neonics nor Bt corn appear to be problems alone.
But when combined with a summer nosema and corn's poor nutritive value, I'm
wondering if problems can result.

And where the heck is Bob?
