DUH!  The Pacific Ocean perhaps?

I wonder how Varroa arrived in Hawaii.  Obviously it wasn't on a semi.  Many suspect imported bees.  I have heard one speculate it was on bees used for apitherapy.  Regardless the point is moor.  Whether train, plane or automobile, Varroa has arrived.

Aaron Morris - Wondering what they're going to do about it, that's what I'd like to know!
