Nah, it cannot happen that Big Agro's poisons are to fault...
Pesticides are bad for bees, but Varroa is too. Until Varroa arrived in Australia the bees there didn't suffer from colony collapse, despite high pesticide use.
Big Ag was already using those poisons before varroa, so if it was the cause, you would've seen it manifest before varroa.
