As far as I know there really has been a change in the lifetime of most beekeepers. That's what I hear from my uncle and from all the other beekeepers I know. That doesn't mean there haven't ever been other colony collapse events in history, but there have also been other volcano explosions in history and that fact wouldn't keep us from worrying about an erupting volcano in our backyards today, would it?

-No, and I wouldn't suggest otherwise. However, if it were as simple as it being a natural, cyclical event I'd feel much more at ease. It's often hard to tell where the media fear mongering and the actual data lie.
