I guess it was just a matter of time, It's not legal to import bees to Hawaii - looks like someone got around the law or maybe they came in on used woodware from the mainland... Doesn't really matter now...

Sorry about the redundancy. I've been off the board for awhile and I should have searched first... :oops:
No worries. I am glad someone else is noticing. Next to CCD this issue in Hawaii is a big time problem for them.
