The bees are back bitches

Oh, look who's back. It's the bee guy. No, that's not who's back. You want to know who's back. THE MOTHAFUCKIN BEES BITCH! Check this article right here that says "Honey bees are now fighting back aggressively against Varroa mites, thanks to Agricultural Research Service (ARS) efforts to develop bees with a genetic trait that allows them to more easily find the mites and toss them out of the broodnest."
Now I know what you're saying. You're saying, "But Bee Guy, I'm a stupid fuck who can't understand shit. What does that mean?" Well, let me break it down for you. Bees are little bugs. Awesome little bugs that run the world and make the things you eat by moving pollen around and helping plants bang, in essence. Varroa mites are even littler bugs. They're so little, bees consider them bugs. So they're bug bugs. And they suck dick. They grab onto bees and bite them and shit and give them diseases and totally fuck them up. And this is one of the things causing all the bees to die, and therefore leading to the end of all life on Earth except maybe for fishies.
So yeah, the bees are back, the bees are back, the bees are back in town — thanks to the help of a few smart-ass scientists who actually give a shit about the end of the world. Basically now we've got ass-kicking bees on steroids, who don't take shit from no mites. If only there was a video of these BEEtdowns in action. I don't know about you but it would be tantamount to porn for me.
I'd like to end this post by quoting Abraham Lincoln, who once said, "Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves. And furthermore, fuck yeah bro, bees RULE!"

That's great, but what about the CCD experts that say CCD is not like mites in that there are no dead bees around the hives (like you would find in mites) but an unusal phenomenon occurs, where the bees do something totally unusual: they actually disappear - fly away - leaving their young behind ...

Yes, it's WONDERFUL the mites are being disposed of by the bees, but it doesn't sound to me that this completely solves the CCD problem.

You can see what I'm talking about here:

I sure hope the bees are back in town. Two years ago I grew one, count it, one tomato. This year I ended up with a half dozen. Tons of flowers but nothing to pollinate them. But... now I have a hive of yellow jackets in the ground, can't mow the lawn.

Indeed the bees are back. I live in Providence RI and an elderly man who lives a few blocks away (right here in the heart of our little city) has 10 supers humming with bees!!!
