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? bob *********************************************** The BEE-L mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
