Some virions are more bulletproof than others. This is why I'm asking
Jerry how deeply he's tested. If virus-contaminated comb can easily
transmit a virulent virus, that would be easy to test in cage experiments
(in an incubator) by exposing bees to a piece of comb, then monitoring any
ensuing mortality.
