We have been beekeeping in New Zealand for about 20 years and have only
seen maybe two cases of this Kashmir disease - I think it is also known
as "half Moon Disease".  It seems to be easily corrected by replacing
the failing Queen.
 
We do not know how it affects bees with Varaoa mites as we do not have
the dreaded Varaoa in New Zealand (and long may it be so)
 
Bees and Queens from new Zealand are regularly exported to Canada in
large quantities every Spring and they are very well received there.
