>Experience has shown over and over that the odds of reducing an
infestation to zero is usually a fool's errand
True, and everyone's well aware of this! But do you want to be the
beekeeper responsible for not trying to save your continent from varroa?
The government folk are going to do their job, so it's not worth fighting
their attempt. I'm on the phone today with a beekeeper who is watching
truckloads of his hives get torched. Heartbreaking, but if they can buck
the odds and quash the incursion, they'll be a hero.
>I just hope the people on the frontline will be compensated for having
their hives depopulated
The understanding is yes.
