...someone else also alluded to migratory practices as a possible contributor.  i believe gas prices in canada are almost double that of the u.s....and also higher in austrailia (i think...didn't do research on this).  is it possible that the higher gas prices put enough of a damper on migratory practices that the stress on the bees overall is lessened enough to change the impact of this (or other) viruses?
