CCD is infectious?

And it only works well on virus.
vitamin c works on a virus?
works? Please explain?
>so Bob, there is an answer.
To my knowledge CCD is only a name given to a hive with certain named symptoms not a disease.
Back at the start 2006/07 I named Queen Collapse Disorder (QCD) which many out of commercial circles have ever heard of.
I felt QCD symptoms were far more prevalent in Hack's bees , Lance's bees (First two beekeepers losing semi loads)
Took awhile but Dennis V. now admits only 4% of deadouts fit the CCD description. I would say most of the rest hives which collapse from causes not from obvious known reasons fit the symptoms of QCD (never described in archives).
CCD was *in my opinion* painting a yard called CCD with too broad a brush.
Glad you are having better luck with your bees Dave!
