> > What role do you think pesticides play into this?

Shouldn't that read, what role, *if any*, did pesticides play, or did pesticides play *any* role?  Otherwise the question is one that presupposes they did (and calls into question the OPs objectivity).

If it was pesticides (and it doesn't look that way at present, but who knows what the future will hold) fair enough, but looking for an answer you *want* to find ain't science (with or without the capital S), and it frequently only lends itself to the confusion as opposed to the solution.
