how can anyone defend the willy nilly unregulated movement of bees when there is the risk of spreading the dreaded CCD? or maybe CCD is no big deal at all and that's why mass movement goes on unimpeded? 

It's called inertia.  It has been done like this for years, and unless there is a MAJOR push to change things, it will continue as before.  By the way, I don't see this push happening.  Just be thankful that the bees are more resilliant than the beekeepers that keep them.
