In Germany, where some of the first reports of CCD in Europe appeared, and where, according to the German national association of beekeepers, 40% of the honey bee colonies died, there was no scientific confirmation; in early May 2007, the German media reported no confirmed CCD cases seemed to have occurred in Germany.
例如，德國是發現首批CCD個案的歐洲國家，根據該國養蜂業人士的報導，約有40%的蜂群死亡，但至今卻無具科學性質研究的確定；2007年五月初，德國的傳媒曾報導該國仍未有確定的CCD個案發生。
