"In our observation hive, that went through two CCD crashes, the old
queen was still there at the end, laying as fast as she could."
If you are able to reproducibly spread CCD from one colony to a
successor colony in this manner, can you say anything about whether
the "infection" is spread via contact with old comb or whether it is
spread via bee to bee contact? Sounds like an important lead you have
there.
