And you think that "wild bees" don't also "pollinate around" among crops, either GMO or otherwise??? If that were the explanation, they would be affected too.
The more likely explanation is that this is some or other "bee disease" to which the native American wild bee and the "Africanized" honeybee are resistant. These kinds of thing happen regularly in nature.
I’m a beekeeper and I’ll try to explain in this thread what I have explained in others.
1.GMO crops might be responsible.....Bees don’t pollinate corn but most beekeepers use corn syrup to feed their bees there has been some speculation that beekeepers who don’t use corn syrup have fewer loses. The natural pesticides in these crops may be causing the bees to become immune-deficient so when you read this or that fungus may be the cause please realize that those fungus have been around awhile and it is sort of like saying pneumonia killed an aids patient. Technically true but it wasn’t the root cause.
2. A pesticide that is in common use in the US (I’m not sure of the brand off the top of my head) was found in France to cause the same symptom beekeepers are now having.
3. Global warming doesn’t affect bees
4. bee die offs of a lesser magnitude have happened every 50-60 years
