A survey of 19 percent of the bee colonies in the U.S., conducted by USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS) and the Apiary Inspectors of America, showed winter losses of more than 36 percent. The research was part of ARS efforts to find the cause of Colony Collapse Disorder. The level of bee losses attributed to Colony Collapse Disorder remained about the same as last year, with a little over one-third of those who lost bees reporting the disappearance of all adult bees from some colonies.
