75. What is CCD?

CCD is a phenomenon that has intrigued the scientific community. It is characterized by the abandonment of the colonies for no apparent reason.

The hive is left behind, even with immature bees and enough food for its residents. In certain situations, only the queen and a few bees that had just been born were found.

No bodies of dead bees are found in the hive or near it and there is no trace of disease or signs of predators. And the empty hive is not looted later on by parasitic insects, as usually happens in cases of abandonment of hives.
