Are poisons, aka, insecticides, pesticides killing our bee population?

I have personally witnessed a very large die off of my honey bees. They engaged in a death spin turning round and round on the ground at the hive entrance as if you could hear them crying in pain and torment and as if poisoned.

If insecticides were banned would honey bees thrive again as they once did? Would we be exporting more honey than we are importing? Would such a ban improve the general health and welfare of most Americans?

Does Monsanto disallow research into the 'mystery,' paying off academic researchers, entomologists, to look the other way? Is Monsanto the new best friend of the bee researcher? Why?

Does the bee decline/honey shortage help those who survive enjoy a monopoly of sorts without lots of the previous competition they once had to compete against? Why do we not hear more outrage from the major beekeepers in this country concerning insecticides?

Is the succumbing of honey bees to small hive beetles, Varroa mites, etc. simply a symptom of a poisoned honey bee?

If not poison, what is your explanation for why honey bees are in decline? Are you motivated by any financial reason to hold your current viewpoint?

If antagonistic to the foregoing and anonymous, why?
