I had considered the possibility, but didn't want to jump to any conclusions
yet.  After your post, I searched the archives, and did notice a number of
traits matching AHB behavior.

The nucs came from a migratory beekeeper here in Vermont, who also raises
his own queens.  I believe  his breeding operation is in the south (Georgia,
maybe).  I suppose AHB contamination  is a real possibility.  I'll keep a
close eye on the hive in question, and call the breeder.

Thanks for the input.

Todd.
