Doug says - there has been tons of speculation across the gardening/horticulture/apiary Net about the source of this collapse. As of Oct 2, the focus is on a specific viral problem.

Having said that - everything from chemicals to cell phones have been said to be involved in the problem.

Thanks! for posting the note - let's try to keep on track with it from here on. I didn't put your original link on because it is now out of date.
