Yeah, but I posted this many times before, every since it came out. Still:

Cresswell, J. E., N. Desneux, and D. vanEngelsdorp. 2012. Dietary traces of neonicotinoid pesticides as a cause of population declines in honey bees: an evaluation by Hill's epidemiological criteria. Pest Management Science. Volume 68, Issue 6, pages 819–827, June 2012

I also referred to:

Boncristiani, H., R. Underwood, R. Schwarz, J. D. Evans, J. Pettis, and D. vanEngelsdorp. 2012. Direct effect of acaricides on pathogen loads and gene expression levels in honey bees Apis mellifera. Journal of Insect Physiology.Volume 58, Issue 5, May 2012, Pages 613–620

Dainat, B., D. vanEngelsdorp, and P. Neumann. 2012. Colony collapse disorder in Europe. Environmental Microbiology Reports 4: 123-125.

> The Bee Informed Partnership wasn’t really any one person’s idea. It was an idea that beekeepers, many beekeepers, had. As I traveled across the country sampling bees to try to find out what was killing them, beekeepers everywhere said that what they needed was a way to find out what other beekeepers did and which of those things worked. At first I didn’t think it was possible to put such a program together, but after taking a course in Epidemiology it became clear that there was a way – and in essence that’s how this whole thing got started.
