Mike in LA has just confirmed that Alabama hasn't had a confirmed case of CCD, and it has an inter-state quarantine on comb if not bees. Do you think that is significant? Inter-state quarantines might not stop all pests and pathogens, but they might slow or stop some. Or is it that Alabama beekeepers can't jump on the inter-state pollination run, and it is that rather than quarantine per se that protects them?
