Bob Harrison asked a question about Phostoxin.  I doubt very much if it is 
the cause of CCD.  This fumigant is used widely here and has been for years 
with no observable negative effects.  It is a highly toxic chemical, but 
also extremely volatile and does not contaminate wax.  If there was any in 
wax it would kill a colony of bees.  It can penetrate about 30cm of concrete 
which indicates just how effective it is.
Best regards
