Please Lord, Not the Bees

Perhaps the most ominous thing about CCD, and one of its most distinguishing characteristics, is that bees and other animals living nearby refrain from raiding the honey and pollen stored away in the dead hive. In previously observed cases of hive collapse (and it is certainly not a rare occurrence) these energy stores are quickly stolen. But, with CCD the invasion of hive pests such as the wax moth and small hive beetle is noticeably delayed.

Ok. That is rather interesting. Or is that ominous?
