Hello All,   I have just been presented with two totally opposing views
with regard to this virus.
(1)  It is very dangerous and will result in the death of the colony.
(2)  It is not  a serious problem and it is endemic in various parts of the
world.
They cannot both be right.  Has anyone personal experience of it?  I
understand it is quite common in New Zealand.  Would anyone in that country
care to comment, please.
