Sorry Bob, but we have heard, seen, and sampled new outbreaks of CCD in  
large commercial operations in the west.  So far, spotty, but enough to be  
worrisome.
 
We've sampled in the SW and in Idaho, talked to folks who suffered CCD last  
year, saw it again mid-summer in Colorado, and are hearing reports of 
localized  problems in other western states -- and no, these aren't hobby or side line 
 beekeepers by anyone's definition.
 
I hope these are the only cases that we see, but as people pull honey,  we're 
getting reports.
 
Jerry
