[SANET-MG] Collapse of Honey Bees in U. S., Canada and 9 European Countries



**The website below provides food for thought. Bee colony collapse has been seen this year in US, Canada and 9 European Countries. There are differences in some countries , there are no dead bees in the infected hives while in others there are few dead bees. Europe has not had the same late winter that was seen in eastern US and Canada.Pesticides seem to be the most common suspects and GM crops may provide an additional impact to that of pesticides and the bee's immune system may be a fragile component in the problem. The bee's immune system is similar, in many respects to that of humans according to the website.
