One (we only have one) Alaska "Director" (not sure of proper
     terminology) for the ABF has returned to his local association with
     dire warnings of some new virus infecting honeybees.  This virus,
     according to him is a worse threat than the mites.  I would very much
     like to hear more about this viral threat.  What is known about it?
     Does it exist?  I have heard nothing about it on the List so far.
