More misinformation, this in the NY Times:
They write:
> A fungus tag-teaming with a virus have apparently interacted to cause the problem
and then later they say:
> nor is it clear, [Jerry Bromenshenk] added, whether one malady weakens the bees enough to be finished off by the second, or whether they somehow compound the other’s destructive power.
"They’re co-factors, that’s all we can say at the moment," he said. "They’re both present in all these collapsed colonies."
In other words, they are found together. Like shoes and socks on feet. I doubt the socks are causing the sore feet; it's probably the shoes, but it could be the combination! They could be tag-teaming!
