Colony collapse disorder (CCD) is a phenomenon in which worker bees from a bee colony abruptly disappear. While such disappearances have occurred throughout the history of apiculture, and were known by various names, the syndrome was renamed colony collapse disorder in late 2006 in conjunction with a drastic rise in the number of disappearances of Western honeybee colonies in North America at that time. European beekeepers observed similar phenomena in Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Greece, Italy, Portugal, and Spain. Initial reports have also come in from Switzerland and Germany, albeit to a lesser degree, while the Northern Ireland Assembly received reports of a decline greater than 50%. CCD has caused as much as one-third of the nation's bees to just disappear each winter since 2006.
Why is this so important?
Bees, especially honeybees, are needed to pollinate crops. Pollinators, like honeybees, are crucial to the U.S. food supply. About $30 billion a year in agriculture depends on their health. Besides making honey, honeybees pollinate more than 90 flowering crops. Among them are a variety of fruits and vegetables: apples, nuts, avocados, soybeans, asparagus, broccoli, citrus fruit and cranberries. About one-third of the human diet comes from insect-pollinated plants, and the honeybee is responsible for 80 percent of that pollination. The world's food supply would suffer drastically if the honeybee population were to disappear.
Zac Browning, a fourth-generation commercial beekeeper who has hives in Idaho, North Dakota and California, said the nation is "on the brink" of not having enough bees to pollinate its crops.
What's the cause of the Colony Collapse?
A new federal report blames a combination of problems for a mysterious and dramatic disappearance of U.S. honeybees since 2006. The intertwined factors cited include a parasitic mite, multiple viruses, bacteria, poor nutrition, genetics, habitat loss and pesticides. The federal report, issued Thursday by the Agriculture Department and the Environmental Protection Agency, said the biggest culprit is the parasitic mite varroa destructor, calling it "the single most detrimental pest of honeybees."
Varroa destructor mites were first discovered in Java in about 1904, but are now present on all continents except Australia. They were discovered in the United States in 1987. In 2007, in Oahu, Hawaii, scientists began experimenting with the use of the virus in the mites for wide-scale distribution.
Biopath Chemical Laboratory in Camarillo, CA, has been using these mites to create the same effects of the bee colonies to spread to other colonized insects. They claim to be using these tests to control outbreaks around the world. In actuality, these long term effects are being used to manipulate the market and influence sales of comparable products. Meanwhile, The N.W.O. owns several of their own colonies to produce their own honey and pollination. There are hundreds of secret greenhouses, bee farms, and crop farms, most notably, Kiryoku, in Oahu, Hawaii. Lower supplies of honey in the market increases the price of the product. The same effect can be repeated with fruits and vegetables. The N.W.O. has been using these methods for years for profiteering. Even worse, these methods can and have been used to cause lower food supplies and even famine in countries that depend on the pollination of bees to produce goods. These methods will allow the N.W.O. to gather the world's wealth, controlling every aspect of life and liberty.
It is only a matter of time before all insect colonies are destroyed, replaced with the New World Order's brand of colonies, honey, and produce. The N.W.O. has its own private armies capable of destroying all the public's armies. Now, it owns private farms capable of destroying all the public's farms. When will we stand up against The New World Order? Is it already too late?

"It affects virtually every American whether they realize it or not."
