That's a lie, plain and simple. Your comment is still there, but your persistently unpleasant attitude and your determination to post your neonicotinoid campaigning has caused me to withdraw your permission to post any more comments on the Home page or in the Blogs. For now you are still allowed to post here, but don't bank on keeping that ability.
This is an important piece of work which shows a change in DWV after the introduction of Varroa, not just the amount per bee and the frequency of infection but also the type(s) of DWV present.
On the Hawaii vs Scotland angle there is work taking place on Scottish infested and non-infested colonies. UK-based reasearchers saw the value in looking at such material and are making progress on it. However they haven't yet published the results and so we'll have to wait to learn more.
I should have said 'non-infested colonies sources in Scotland'. I don't know where the infested colonies came from.
