When I first saw CCD colonies in Florida, I noted that colonies in good  
shape had:
 
1) bees and brood, with the amount of brood in balance with the number of  
bees, and pollen patties that moved (when I flipped them over, the Small 
Hive  Beetles were so numerous, they actually caused the patty to shake.
 
The failing and collapsed colonies had patties without SHB - no movement,  
no beetles.
