honey bee / fertilizer link ?

There was a thread a while back about the decline in the honey bee population. And I wondered if anyone had any thoughts on something I heard that was not mentioend there.

The other day someone told me that the reason for the decline is over-fertilization. This guy specifically mentioned corn. He said that it changes the pollen and that is what affects the bees. I was thinking the link probably was with pesticides, not fertilizer.

Anybody heard of this or have any thoughts on it?
