Given the long life of the virus it seems to me that remebee will only
be effective in only the short term (ie halting an abscond),
but what about 6 months in the future?
The virus will still be "contaminating" the hive, ready to restart an acute senario
Perhaps the answer is to raise some Queens at the same time
so that the resistance becomes "genetic"?
IMO VC is less experimental AND seems to work,
likely also cheaper (moneywise, not labour)
Or is remebee aimed at nosema cerana?
