>Virus epidemic within the hive.  But usually associated with varroa

May be symptom of ccd, especially if corpses persist
Undertaker bees seem to avoid for a looong time (if ccd)(weeks)

If ccd is in your hives then VD level doesn't seem to matter anymore,
probably because ccd spore is so long-lived

Still waiting for some easy way to de-contaminate equipement
This is a signifigant factor, even with VC treatment, traces of ccd
effects can be seen.  I have the impression that, with no intervention,
ccd would come back in full force within 8 months
(VC=vitamin C)
