They may do, or it may already be dormant in the  hives, but it doesn't 
seem to spread that easily. The worst outbreak ever  recorded in the UK, 
involving over 100 hives, only affected a single beekeeper.  The disease appeared 
to have been spread largely by the beekeeper rather then  the bees, or it 
would have affected other peoples' colonies in the area.
