Since the initial detection of Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) in 2006, honey beekeepers have been losing roughly 30% of their hives annually. Although CCD is not fully understood, it appears to be a destructive synergism of multiple drivers of collapse. These include but are not limited to pesticides, parasitic mites, and increased viral levels.
