@szielins : The Wikipedia page Colony collapse disorder - Wikipedia goes into some detail as to what is and isn’t CCD.
@Cowicide : The Harvard researchers are already very well aware of what is and isn’t CCD. As a matter of fact, all three of the authors of the study Xeni linked to are all sourced in the very CCD Wikipedia article you linked to.
@szielins : Can’t prove it by that paper.
Um, I proved it with your own Wikipedia link. Why are you repeatedly resorting to ad hominem attacks and insults against the researchers themselves?
You sound like Bayer pesticides public relations.
The showstopper remains: dead queens and dead brood is not colony collapse disorder.
False argument is false argument. The study doesn’t say that. Why misrepresent the study? It says that sub-lethal exposure to neonicotinoids impaired the honey bees’ winterization before proceeding to colony collapse disorder.
I don’t know why Lu et alia are throwing the words “colony collapse” around with the gleeful abandon they are; you’d have to ask them.
Gleeful abandon? Your gleeful bias is showing.
That’s why Dove is rolling his eyes so hard
Dove doesn’t agree with many of their suppositions including that sub-lethal exposure to neonicotinoids impaired the honey bees’ winterization before proceeding to colony collapse disorder. What else is new?
