From: Medhat Nasr:  "... when tracheal mites killed bee colonies. A handful of 
bees is left with the queen in the surviving hives. Testing those bees showed 
very little tracheal mites. Would it be the same case when CCD colonies tested 
after bees left  their hives?"

I've read that CCD will roll through a bee yard.  Would it be possible to catch 
a yard in the midst of a CCD infestation and to start immediately taking sample 
of bees from both affected and non-affected hives to try to follow the 
infestation as it progresses and getting samples of bees as the hives come down 
with the infestation?
