>This observation -- the fact that feeding crushed bees to colonies
causes collapse -- is to me a very important observation.
Most who have experience with ccd
would say that the boxes are infectious too,
just not as fast
I am of this opinion too
Now that I am 3 or 4 generations in,
the disease is not so severe
For example I only lost 2/9 last winter.
Those bees were not inspected for 9+ months
I expected to see bear damage, (the remote yard)
there was a bear maybe, the fence was knocked down
It took 10M of fence and 2 insulators,
the hives were all standing
1VG, 1F, 1P, 2 deadouts. Looked like ccd
In August, both those hives were good
But that yard had 100% loss in 2007
I thought that yard only had 4 hives,
but the queen (in the surprise) was unmarked
????
Probably not a prion
Why? Because Vitamin C is a treatment?
And it only works well on virus.
so Bob, there is an answer
