[Pollinator] Feral Honeybee Health?

[Peter Bernhardt]

This afternoon Dr Peter Wyse Jackson, Director of the Missouri Botanical
Garden, asked a most important question I could not answer.  What is known
about the health of feral, naturalize Apis mellifera vs. industrial hives
or even home hives?  Do these feral colonies suffer from the same level of
Colony Collapse Disorder and Varroa?  If you have pertinent literature on
this topic please forward it to Dr Wyse Jackson.

Sincerely,
Peter Bernhardt, Prof. of Biology
Saint Louis University
