I am not trying to blame Canada for giving us KBV . Randy simply said he 
heard a rumor and I replied that I had heard the same rumor.

I do know that KBV was not found in the many samples we sent for testing 
from *the area* in which Hacks bees were tested.

I really do not believe the CCD working group ever tested the six other 
healthy yards for virus and nosema ceranae (like they did Hack's) or at 
least I have never heard they did or what the results were. I have heard 
*looked at* and beeks *talked to* but have not heard of samples taken and if 
my memory serves me correct I believe Jerry B. said bees from those yards 
were never tested back at the time. Jerry?

Dick do you know?


Did you ever hear the Canada rumor Jerry ? Was Hack ever asked about a 
possible source of KBV in his bees?
