You could sell CCD resistant bees and guarantee them since they are more 
likely to die from mites than CCD. Florida reports that only 2% of 
beekeepers in the State say they had CCD, and small operations would be 
the ones buying these great bees. Add that even that 2% is suspect.

Even the 2% that wanted their money back could not prove the bees died 
from CCD when no one knows what CCD is. It is a slam dunk.

However I would advice the seller not to guarantee that the bees would 
not be beamed up by aliens, since that has a higher probability. BTDT
