Some time back, we heard this from Bob:

>Interesting experiment is in progress in Florida by the 
> USDA-ARS & Dave Hackenberg.

>1. CCD dead-out untreated
>2.CCD dead out brood comb irradiated
>3. CCD dead out honey supers (no brood)
>4.CCD dead out brood boxes fumigated as I posted with acetic acid.

>Irradiated & acetic acid doing fine. ( 2 & 4) 
>problems in group 1 & 3  I have been told...

>" ...initial observation was that the differences between treated 
> and untreated colonies was day & night"

What are the latest observations and the experience of those on this list?

I have experienced what looks a lot like CCD to me and am wondering 
about re-using the deadouts.

Seems to me that I heard that the problem with re-use diminished with 
time.  Is that true?
