A leading suspect for bee hive depopulation has been an insecticide that causes insects to become confused. This insecticide has been accused of causing bees to not return to the hive - which would explain so many hives without even dead bodies.
Beekeepers recently testified to Congress on this problem requesting a major funding for research. Without these facts the insecticide companies refuse to stop selling their unique product.
The usual suspects (ie mites) have been eliminated from the suspects list. This problem has been ongoing and increasing for many years now.
