hello All,
I agree with Michael Palmer. Bee Paralysis virus.
The big boys have moved way past the USDA coming to tell the state they 
have got virus issues.
I expect the ETO machine will be booked solid over winter and then splits 
made on to radiated comb.
Hobby beekeepers can replace comb or cut plastic back to midrib before 
using next spring.
