planetark.com — A parasite common in Asian bees has spread to Europe and the Americas and is behind the mass disappearance of honeybees in many countries, says a Spanish scientist who has been studying the phenomenon for years.

So when you hear from some source you've never heard of that Colony Collapse Disorder might be caused by Global Warming you are immediately skeptical, but when you hear from some source you've never heard of that the cause is an Asian parasite that has been in the US for seven years you believe it immediately. Can you explain to a perplexed reader why?

Actually -- to be COMPLETELY fair -- while it wasn't global warming and all that ... it probably WAS related to the fact that we're doing some "unnatural" things (like shipping bees around the world, etc.) In a "normal" world (which, I guess would mean a world without humans?), parasites that interact with bees in Asia wouldn't reach bees in other areas like ... well ... Canada.

Obviously a right wing cover story. Everyone knows it is directly related to Chupacabra caused global warming. The manbearpig is the only animal smart enough and strong enough to save us from certain disaster. Please watch a crappy concert or something to help........ <a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chupacabra">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chupacabra</a>
