Reply: Yes and this was in Tucson, and an isolated case and the main question was like in other places with one finding, why were they not found in the beekeeping areas between Tucson and the Border, so possibly it was an isolated one brought in manually, but from where? Think this happened in Calif too years prior to actual? besides other border states...Also, SC was already in usage sizing bees down with project going on at local lab also.So technically where were the bees from and also Id. These were questions back then.......we all talked about. Respectfuly submitted, Dee A.
