I had considered the possibility, but didn't want to jump to any conclusions
yet. After your post, I searched the archives, and did notice a number of
traits matching AHB behavior.
The nucs came from a migratory beekeeper here in Vermont, who also raises
his own queens. I believe his breeding operation is in the south (Georgia,
maybe). I suppose AHB contamination is a real possibility. I'll keep a
close eye on the hive in question, and call the breeder.
Thanks for the input.
Todd.
