Hi Claude,

Interesting that Koppert endeavors to dismiss Robbin's premise
when in their CEQA filed a few years ago with CDFA to allow
importation of Bombus impatiens they identified protocols to
mitigate possible pathogenic transfer to native species by either
freezing or drowning the colonies following the bees completing
pollinating services.
