The suspicion is that the USA is protecting Monsanto, Dow, DuPont and Union
Carbide and refusing to ban them.

Owww, damn, now I am pissed offwardly.  I like bees, bees are my friends,
don't like to see harm come to them.  To see two bees within a pace of each
other, both stunned and unable to fly, along with the three negative results
for parasites this season and two dissections without finding tracheal mites
all point to a pesticide.  Parasites or viruses wouldn't strike both beasts
right there together at the same time.  But a pesticide would.  I have a
mind to report this observation to my bee forum.
