> Why the panic now?

I don't think this discussion has showed any signs of panic, certainly not
on the part of northern beekeepers. Simply talking about this stuff is not a
sign of panic. It should be discussed fully. There are a lot people out
there keeping mum. I don't know why.

> I'm curious what advice has the bee labs given for control of AHB?

Requeen, kill aggressive hives, kill ferals. 

* to which I would add: mark your queens! If there is a large AHB presence,
you can no longer let them supersede
