Bob,

>>If you can control varroa at a high level then virus issues are not 
a problem.

If new bees are put on the combs from a PMS colony and the varroa is 
controlled for say 6 months, will the new colony's activities on the 
comb make the virus less accessible?  Will the cocoons and new 
coatings of wax/propolis seal the virus to a large degree?
