>>Industrial agriculture is killing U.S. honeybees...

I don't know if that's all there is to CCD but I recently read 
somewhere that they banned [certain?] pesticides in Israel 10 years 
ago and they've seen a 60% drop in cancer rates.

A 65-year beekeeper friend of mine just got the news he's got 
prostate cancer.  [The stats on prostate cancer are scary.]  He can't 
be sure it was caused by pesticide residues but pesticides even in 
small amount do affect the hormonal balance which important for 
proper prostate function.

In any event, is anyone aware of any studies that bee stings to the 
prostate area help reverse prostate cancer?  Googling brings up a few 
websites that make that claim but I would like to find actual studies 
as well.
