Sorry Bob, but we have heard, seen, and sampled new outbreaks of CCD in
large commercial operations in the west. So far, spotty, but enough to be
worrisome.
We've sampled in the SW and in Idaho, talked to folks who suffered CCD last
year, saw it again mid-summer in Colorado, and are hearing reports of
localized problems in other western states -- and no, these aren't hobby or side line
beekeepers by anyone's definition.
I hope these are the only cases that we see, but as people pull honey, we're
getting reports.
Jerry
