Colony Collapse Disorder Debunked: Pesticides Cause Bee Deaths
Tuesday, July 22, 2008 by: Heidi Stevenson

Key concepts: pesticides, colony collapse disorder and Bayer

The great mystery of bee deaths has been solved. Colony Collapse
Disorder is poisoning with a known insect neurotoxin. Clothianidin, a
pesticide manufactured by Bayer, has been clearly linked to die offs
in Germany and France.

The spokesperson for the Coalition Against Bayer Dangers, based in
Germany, stated, "We have been pointing out the risks of
neonicotinoids for almost 10 years now. This proves without a doubt
that the chemicals can come into contact with bees and kill them.
These pesticides shouldn't be on the market."

Colony Collapse Disorder is a false name that serves to mislead the
public into believing that there's a new, mystery disorder, probably
something very complex, that needs tons of money to be thrown at it so
that every possible angle can be studied. The reason is simple. By
misdirecting the public, and apparently many professionals too, the
real reason for bee die-offs is obscured.
