An Asian virus has also been implicated. I think it's more than one factor, including stress on the bees. I think they are quitting their jobs (migrant workers) and have found a quiet field somewhere in Canada...
A local beekeeper who has been in the honey business since the '30s lost nearly all his colonies last fall/this spring. He doesn't move them, but they are being encroached on by development and they have to travel farther to find food as all the farming is now gone.
