They didn't give it a serious name (it was nick named "mad bee disease) and figured it was caused by systemic pesticides on sunflowers. About 4 or 5 years ago Spain experienced another similar disappearance of bees and figured it was caused by Nosema ceranae. When it first appeared in this country we called it Fall Dwindling Disease and later researchers decided to call it CCD. Naming something does not suddenly make it a reality...it is just naming it. We are still looking at the same pesticides and Nosema strains that France and Spain reported before it became big news here. Actually France had a similar thing going on some 6 or 7 years earlier.
