Can anyone give me an answer based on facts or point me to the definitive
answer to the following question.  I have tried the logs, but must admit I
did not wade through all the HBTM material.

Can queens be infected by HBTM?  And more specifically: In baby nucs
prepared with infected bulk bees, will the emerging queen be jumped by every
pregnant HBTM looking to relocate.
