Were they from CCD? That is the number I would like to see, just the 
number of colonies that actually died from CCD. There are specific 
symptoms of CCD. Granted that there is some similarity to mite and virus 
problems, but I will give you that ambiguity. Just like to see an actual 
number not an extrapolation.
