Bob:
 Possibly but not one shipment I know of from Australia has
had the form checked saying SHB was found in the hives the
bees were taken from or the packages.

Reply:
Well if it "has had the form checked" then you know how
paper filling out goes......, but still SHB could have been
(here we go again) at non-dectable levels, FWIW. Then once
in Calif, well, the SHB came from hives in the USA and
transferred over......of course. But very glad to see they
like AHB can be ID to PROPER origin.
