We will have some preliminary analysis available shortly from our surveys.
However, this is NOT a problem restricted to large, migratory beekeepers.
Beekeepers who experience CCD are big and small, migratory and non-migratory,
some are organic, most aren't. Chemicals used to control mites range from
none to every permutation on the theme.
Of great interest will be what happens now that the weather is warming and
beekeepers in the north start opening hives.
