Ok. Canada says they have got no CCD. Which means their problems are caused 
by the same old problems beekeepers have been fighting.

If so then their huge 2007 die off falls in the area of what we call PPB 
(P--- Poor beekeeping).

KBV was reported to have killed a huge number of hives in the peace river 
district a few short years ago. No report since then. Silence.

All CCD samples had KBV and nosema.

Its actually too early to report on this spring in Canada yet. Most do not 
unwrap till mid April.

i feel like Steve Noble. lets hear exactly what was found in some of the 
dead out samples. KBV? IAPV? N.ceranae?

Researcher opinions not backed up by research only confuse the issue.
