regarding the use of taxpayers funds to restock hives, sorry for the brief and somewhat glib response. Actually, I have followed this issue closely from the very start, and know or have met many of the key players, including Dennis Van Engelsdorp, David Hackenburg, Jerry Hayes, Maryann Frazier, and all.  

........ask for "loan" money to put more bees back in these same hives, not knowing whether they are contaminated with lethal viruses or lethal chemicals?

Haven't I read on the list in the not too distant past that in some informal tests conducted that hives suspected of being "infected" with CCD causitive agents could be restocked if first subjected to a cleansing using a clorox cleaning agent?   Seems that hives restocked without sterilization treatment again succumbed to the problem while those treated with chlorox were successful.
