Out of all this colony collapse crisis management, I guess that overall better beekeeping practices will develop. People have been keeping bees for a very long time, and they have been doing agriculture for a very ling time. Still, the industrialization of the past century has brought along some negative consequences (along with way lower prices), and some of them are only now starting to show up, like topsoil erosion, contamination of the food supply with other industrial waste streams, and the disease risk associated with monoculture. I truly appreciate that the article is skewed, and I didn't write it. I think that it's an interesting piece of the puzzle, that's all. There are no easy answers here, and it's clear that something isn't working. Maybe agribusiness didn't cause this, but adaptation is necessary.
