Bob Harrison asked "if a single small hive beetle was found 
(as reported to me) or many and Was the SHB (if only one) alive or dead 
when discovered?

We are still inspecting hives for the SHB. All what I can say at this 
time, all of found confirmed beetles were alive, except a suspected dead 
one.
