Testing on animals is utterly ineffective, when we are trying to determine the results on humans. Different genetic makeups and all.

Yup, and therefore all of ya guys should volunteer to be testpersons in the laboratories I've heard you can make some nice money out of it

No way. Last time I did that, they fed me some pill which rhymed with Niagra.. In large quantities. I had a tent for 2 days, if you get my drift.

Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) occurs when a hive's inhabitants suddenly disappear, leaving only queens, eggs and a few immature workers...,The vanished bees are never found, but thought to die singly far from home. The parasites, wildlife and other bees that normally raid the honey and pollen left behind when a colony dies, refuse to go anywhere near the abandoned hives.

The alarm was first sounded last autumn, but has now hit half of all American states. The West Coast is thought to have lost 60 per cent of its commercial bee population, with 70 per cent missing on the East Coast.

CCD has since spread to Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Greece. And last week John Chapple, one of London's biggest bee-keepers, announced that 23 of his 40 hives have been abruptly abandoned.

I always hate how they try to make it sound so profound by using some sort of acronym, as if its been in place for decades. Colony Collapse Disorder? Come on lol.

I just hope this isn't another Al Gore, Mr. I own like 3 jets, yet I want people to sacrifice their cars and such for global warming. I think there's already been much research to disprove that we actually have a grand effect on global warming.

Seeing numbers like 60 or 70 percent of hives getting abandoned. I would think we'd feel the effect by now.
