ignorance, it's still out there.

At the 2009 Naturescaping event I got into a discussion with a woman about CCD.

CCD or Colony Collapse Disorder is the latest buzzword bingo term for what is happening to bees. As to whether CCD is even a real disorder is subject to debate. However the supposed symptoms are laid out pretty clearly.

The hive has it population take a downturn over weeks. Don't believe me? Fine read it for yourself.

"While the actual rate of adult bee loss in populations have not been recorded, it
is clear that otherwise strong colonies can quickly lose their entire
workforce in a matter of weeks. "

CCD does not take place over a few days. I really tried to indulge this woman but and even tried to side with her but this is where you have a person who feel they are an authority and in reality they are clueless and the people they get information from are clueless.

Not an hour later I gave a presentation at the end of the presentation I had to explain to another woman who still believes that cell phone towers were the source of CCD.

*sigh*
