Daniel,
   Thanks. The Yahoo Article though posted Apr 6 is using dated information. 
At present there are 27 States reporting losses not 22 . I will show a "Map" 
link below that was made when there were 25 States showing CCD losses, it is 
not current either but shows 5 more States than the Yahoo article claims.

   Yahoo's wording also does not make clear what is happening. The Hive Bee's 
leave enmass leaving the Queen and Young brood in small numbers. Bee Keepers 
report the floor of the hives are clean and have no dead bees in the hive at 
all, nor outside the hive. No one has found the 20 to 60,000 bees that 
abandoned the hive ( most foraging is usually done within a 2.5 mile radius of the 
hives) but people are not finding the dead bees yet. It is an enigma that remains 
unsolved today.
