As it has been talked on bee-l, few months back SHB was found in 
Southern Italy

This has raised quite a lot of interest also here in Finland as many 
packages were imported last summer and queens are imported every year 
from Italy.

I would like to know what is the northernmost problems areas with SHB in 
US/Canada.

I know that it has been detected in northern states, but is it just 
found or is there really problems with collapsing colonies and frames 
waiting for extracting.

If these real problems in beekeeping caused by SHB have some northern 
limit in North America, what would that be ?
