> CCD colonies don't necessarily abscond.  We've had colonies on bee  
counters - they lose waves of bees, sometimes lots in a day, then fewer, then  
another wave of loses. 
Some beekeepers did report a form of swarming in stockpile yards

A bit unclear.  If you mean abscond implies a swarm-type event
then I agree ccd depopulation is not a "classical" abscond
It does indeed take ~ 1 week or more to unfold
But the end result is the same -- an empty hive (or essentially empty)

Before 07 I have never seen this or anything like it
