Right! No confirmed CCD in Canada?

I hope your area does do better this winter but its hard not to think
something is funny with the bees on Vancouver Island ( along the U.S./ 
Canada border) .

Having been to the Island I understand the weather is similar to the weather 
on the other side
of the Sound. Right across the Columbia River from several 10,000 plus 
beekeeping
operations which are seeing CCD problems.

The CBC News website reports 90% losses for Vancouver beekeepers. Also says
those beekeepers own a fourth of all the hives in BC..

As an area these are huge losses and hard for me to believe are all winter
related.

comments?
