I discovered that the National Academy of Sciences Report titled

Status of Pollinators in North America (2006)

is now available online 

http://books.nap.edu/openbook.php?isbn=0309102898

Notes of interest to current discussions

page 77 talks about concern of imported bumble bees and cross transfer of pathogens to other bee 
species. 

page 180 talks about reccomendation to improve honeybee health. including 3rd party certification 
of queen producers. ties in with discussion on tracheal mite resistance and how do you know if your 
breeder selects. this sounds like an excellent idea.
