Actually, from 2006 - 201, we found that the pathogen diversity profile of Florida bees more or less mirrored much of east coast from NY to FL, but differed from other parts of the country. Consider - there is a group of beekeepers who move from FL and NY and back and are intermingled with local, smaller scale beekeepers at all points along the transect. I've always had my own personal name for this.
