Mr Ash
What you say about CCD aka Dwindling Disease (DD) of the 70s is true, and I encountered two survivors that were as AHB as any I've seen. Really mean, would hit you at the gate 1/4 mile from the bee yard.
But that preceded the queen failure issue that I saw in Helena by almost a decade.
I saw both the previous DD, the 2006, 2010, and other cases of CCD.
The queens in the DD came from suppliers around Baton Rouge, into TX. The queens that failed in our Helena trials were from northern CA.
