That is odd. I used to work with bee's for pollination of seed crops. Sometimes the crop that the bee's are suppossed to be pollinating is not as attractive as other crops, or native plants in the area. That can lead to a desertion. I'm sure if the bee's wander into a neighboring crop when it is being sprayed with insecticide that could be another problem. But to lose up to 70% over such a wide spread area is very alarming. Maybe it is the first sign of the Apocolypse. (I kid)
