"Does anyone recall that when this all started the beekeeper responsible for
'ringing the bell' had just been told by the inspectors in Maine that his

I posted recently that on 2 occasions I have found CCD-like symptoms in my bees.  On both occasions I was aware of a heavy mite load but delayed doing anything about it because I didn't want to contaminate the honey with chemicals.
