It would be most interesting to know if imported packages from Australia are overrepresented among the dead outs in the various beekeeping outfits effected, as Australian bees aren't used to fighting the varroa down under,that have been brought into the USA, along with other maladies I would think then.
Comments anyone, about your recently imported stock last 1-2-3 years. Is it holding up now?
