Bob said that Michael was influenced to write the book by some well known  
organic
beekeepers
 
I don't know if this is true or not.  However, at the time that  Michael was 
working on this book, a group of vocal organic beekeepers kept  promoting the 
fiction that organic bees didn't have CCD.
 
One of the very first reports of CCD came to me from an organic  beekeeper, 
and then we got others, and finally areas supposedly free  of CCD got CCD.  
Organic beekeeping IS NOT and HAS NOT been an  insurance policy against getting 
CCD.  It simply is not true based on  surveys and samples that we've received.
