The problem is often that everyone finds a way to profit from narratives, true or false, and has little incentive to kill the goose.
With CCD, research was rescued, the press had good stories with a novel twist, politicians were able to be generous with other people's money, beekeepers had a believable excuse to give the banker, and so on.
Beekeepers were glad to get bailed out and to suddenly be seen a heroes, rather than a threat to the neighbourhood, and on it goes.
Nobody wants to stop this gravy train, so there is no incentive to dig out the bald truth.
Fiction is more fun, and more profitable.
