I started this with the subject "Symptoms" for a reason. The issue is CCD,
not every possible disease or other cause of bee mortality.

In essence, when you get away from CCD symptoms you can talk about every ill
that is out there, but to make it CCD you must tie it to the symptoms of CCD
(which sometimes is hard enough to do with CCD).

From there on, it is just agenda, or another game of pin the tail on the
donkey, a game done blindfolded.
