Off-topic text at Pollinator decline
This text is very specifically about the subject of this article, not that one. This article is already too long, so I wouldn't add it, but here it is: Leo Breman (talk) 17:00, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

Artificial water bodies, open urban areas, large industrial facilities including heavy industry, railways and associated installations, buildings and installations with a sociocultural purpose, camping, sports, playgrounds, golf courts, oilseed crops other than oilseed rape such as sunflower or linseed, some spring cereals and former forest clearcuts or windthrows were frequently associated with high honey bee colony losses.

idem, I'll get rid of the entire section over there, put up a 'see also' thing. If people want to read about CCD, they can do that here, not in an article about something else. Leo Breman (talk) 17:18, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

Colony collapse disorder has in one theory been attributed to monoculture. The agricultural practice of monoculture may lead to malnourishment, because a single plant species may not meet the nutrient requirements.

Some studies have linked neonicotinoid pesticide exposure to bee health decline. Pesticides interfere with honey bee brains, affecting their ability to navigate. Pesticides prevent bumble bees from collecting enough food to produce new queens.

SmartBees is a European research project of 16 entities (universities, research institutions and companies) funded by the EU, headquartered in Berlin. Its goal is to elicit causes of resistance to CCD, develop breeding to increase CCD resistance and to counteract the replacement of many native European bees with only two specific races.

CoLOSS (Prevention of honey bee COlony LOSSes) is an international, nonprofit association headquartered in Bern, Switzerland, to "improve the well-being of bees at a global level", composed of researchers, veterinarians, agriculture extension specialists, and students from 69 countries. Their three core projects are standardization of methods for studying the honey bee, colony loss monitoring, and bridging research and practice.

Newer research on neonicotinoids
There are quite a few more recent articles pointing to bee death from neonicotinoids:

 * I didn't see any references to CCD in the abstracts at least. CCD is a pretty specific set of symptoms. KoA (talk) 03:59, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
