An unresolved question: does reappearance of EFB in a colony in the
spring derive principally from remaining high titres of live bacteria
in comb due to an earlier infection or from susceptibility to
development of infections perhaps precipitated by
environmental/nutritional factors. The end result is the same, but the
causes may suggest different approaches to curbing the infection long
term in individual colonies and in apiaries.
