It seems that CCD is not happening in organic Bee colonies.

Also, here is a beekeeping article that talks about using smaller sized cells to produce smaller, healthier bees. It seems that modern bees are about 25% larger than natural bees, and that extra size leads to Varroa mites.

Tinkering when you have no clue is one way to learn, but it usually involves cleaning up a whole new mess! Also notice that organic crops wouldn’t be increasingly insect resistant.
