poor nutrition that comes from eating only one type of pollen, such as that
on almond trees, for several weeks at a time; the artificial diet of sugar
syrup given to boost bee populations early in the growing season; the
antibiotics administered to sick bees; and the stress of traveling are also
part of the mix, he says.

some tantalizing tidbits out there, but all of the collapsed hives don't
seem to share a single common factor that could cause the problem," he notes.
