Scientists identify culprit behind biggest-ever U.S. honey bee die-off

The standard practice for commercial crops is to bring in commercial hives of bees for pollination season that are shipped together via truck from crop to crop and region to region.

That sounds like a great opportunity to spread the resistant parasites from hive to hive and region to region.

This has been the practice for more than a century. We saw the steepest declines post 2000s. While it almost certainly isn't helping, it's not the one root cause.

hives not open whole year have no mites.
