So far nobody seems to have mentioned GMO crops. I'd bet the modifications which were made so the plants are resistant to some insects has also affected the pollen of the plants which would then affect bees. The folks monitoring the hives seem to mention the bees "get lost" and can't find their way back to the hive. In actuality, from the evidence they have i.e. no bees coming back to the hive, that would not preclude the demise of the bees from whatever method the GMO crops are getting rid of the other "pest" insects.
