The industry profile has been that way for along time. It is not recent 
at all. We have had migratory beekeepers in Maine for many years. Plus 
we had the same heat over Tracheal and Varroa that California is 
exhibiting over SHB.

All we have is a repeat of history with a new cast of characters.

The archives are wonderful, but also a little depressing. A lot like a 
person lost in a snowy wood that finds a set of footprints and know that 
all he need do is follow them to safety. Then he sees that someone 
else's footprints have joined the person he is following so knows he is 
even more sure of safety. Then another and he is elated to know how 
right he is in following the prints.
