"New research from Penn State demonstrates the way virus is passed from hive
to hive, flower to flower  and bee to bee. Also a queen with virus can 
pass the virus on through her eggs."

Logical advance from this would be to apply the "Principle of 
Precaution", i.e.

Since there are many areas, regions, countries that appear for the 
moment to be free of CDD, then a moratorium should be put into place to 
at least limit the trade in Queens.

Better this than possibly loosing thousands of colonies and the 
resulting financial costs.


Arguments against please!
