Timm,
I don't know where the mite came from.
Heck, we've had to deal with "foul brood" and wax moths in the past, but this "mystery" looks to have a huge impact.
So many crops...apples to zuccini depend on these critters.
Sure, honey prices will go up..but so will everything else.
Bees are important in helping us have healthy food to eat.
I hope the scientists find what's up.
