Some have said the idea was to get funding. Wouldn't the CCD team be able to 
tell if those hives had died from high varroa load.

Maybe not?

So easy to tell if you know what you are looking for.

you don't need a microscope!

beekeepers are always blamed when researchers can't figure out what 
happened.

beekeepers did not benefit from CCD. The research community had millions 
tossed their way.

Accountability never happens in Washington or in government agencies in my 
opinion.
