What’s being called Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) has now been seen in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Florida, Georgia and way out in California. Some bee keepers have lost up to 80 percent of their colonies to the mysterious disorder. Whatever kills the bees targets adult workers, which die outside the colony — with few adults left inside, either alive or dead. The disorder decimates the worker bee population in a matter of weeks. Aside from making honey, honey bees are essential for the pollination of tens of million of dollars worth of cash crops all over the United States. That’s why almond growers of California, for instance, are taking notice and pledging funds to help identify and fight the honey bee disorder. Among the possible culprits are a fungus, a virus, or a variety of microbes and pesticides. No one knows just yet. Based on this information, you could infer that Colony Collapse Disorder would be categorized as Question 1 options: a density-dependent limiting factor. intraspecific competition a density-independent limiting factor interspecific competition.
