Hi All

Just returned from the CHC, CAPA, OBA convention in Niagara Falls  
Ontario Canada.  The "V words" (virus, varroa) were certainly high on  
the topic list.  The only advantage I could see to varroa in Oz would  
be a decrease in beekeeper migration to Australia from varroa  
infested parts of the world.
