Amen. If you want to look at what may be happening, Peter has summed it 
up perfectly.

I am having a hard time with this issue since some who are being quoted 
in the national news had high mite loads before they had "CCD". Their 
colonies died because of mites.

Again, there probably is Fall Dwindle disease and all those other 
diseases that we had in the past and can easily have today, but some 
claiming CCD are not playing fair. They are doing a disservice to those 
who actually may have had CCD.

For me, CCD has left science and the truth behind and is well into 
politics and there ain't much truth there.

Follow the money.
