Comparison of two articles related to bee deaths

My first article called Are GM Crops Killing Bees? by Gunther Latsch agrees with the point that the article called Keeping Bees Among Us by Verlyn Klinkenborg (newyorktimes) makes and that is that bees are in trouble. They both point out that something is seriously wrong and if something isn't done our food sources could quickly diminish. However my first article suggests that the bee population may be suffering from being in contact with genetically modified plants while my second article believes bees are dying, not of outside forces, but internal ones, the condition CCD or colony collapse disorder.
The first articles mentions several people who sit on various organizations and their views and opinions on the matter. The second article simply states the author's own experiences from her past. Clearly both articles have identified the problem, but view differently on the source of the problem.
