I have been on constant travel, so I'm a few days out on e-mail returns.
1) We've seen and sampled CCD cases in AZ, ID, WA, CA, and MN, with reports
of it in TX, CO, ND, and FL. One change this fall, far greater number of
colonies completely empty, even the queen left.
2) Some east coast bee operations showed high levels of paradichlorobenzene
in the wax - so heavy handed wax moth control isn't helping - but its NOT in
all of the CCD operations. Phosdin gas -- we'll have to look again at the
volatiles, don't remember seeing it.
