One (we only have one) Alaska "Director" (not sure of proper terminology) for the ABF has returned to his local association with dire warnings of some new virus infecting honeybees. This virus, according to him is a worse threat than the mites. I would very much like to hear more about this viral threat. What is known about it? Does it exist? I have heard nothing about it on the List so far. Tom Elliott Eagle River, Alaska [log in to unmask]
