Colony Collapse Disorder


Watching how the bee collects pollen and why it does this activity and how much that influences the food chain, we were alarmed to find that this problem is affecting the bees in great numbers.



Colony Collapse Disorder (or CCD) is a poorly understood phenomenon in which worker bees from a beehive or Western honey bee colony abruptly disappear. While such disappearances have occurred throughout the history of apiculture, the term 'Colony Collapse Disorder' was first applied to a drastic rise in the number of disappearances of Western honey bee colonies in North America in late 2006
