Hello All,
I received another call from Australia and Australia had spoken with Canada.
The report is the Canada beekeeper lost around 75% of their bees last fall. 
The bees left are not thriving and they are having trouble raising queens. 
The queens are dying in the cells a few days before hatching.
The bees were in an area of corn production last fall. The Canada beekeeper 
has sent pollen samples off for testing. 
Bob
