Is this aminopyralid? Does it actually go through horses and remain
active?

Supposedly. But it could be a case like the American bee keepers who
blamed
Australian imported bees for CCD.

I thought that Australian bees were brought in because of CCD. Could
you
amplify as I know nothing about this.

This is from the Australian rural press and because it appeared some time
ago now, I am giving details from memory but wikipedia gives some support
to
my recall of the coverage:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colony_collapse_disorder

Press reports ran along the lines of: Aus bees started being sent to the
US
shortly before CCD started appearing in the US so when it did appear
there
was a subsequent hunt for the culprit. Usual crappola blame game then
began - it must be those damned furriners sending us furrin infected bees
(which of course it wasn't, given that we don't have it).

Eventually it was discovered that it'd been seen earlier in both US and
Europe and someone must have eventually figured that Australia had e-mail
and probably asked someone here if Aus had it.


Sorry love, but everyone is a suspect until they are eliminated.


'Supect' yes, but not as an automatic knee jerk reaction in a press driven
world. It was that crappola of kneejerkness that got up my left nostril at
the time. No serious analysis had been done at that time.

In this
case, Australian bees arrive 2 years after the out break of CCD,


??? Aus bees went to the US 2 years before the outbreak, not after.


This is what happens when you read up-side down ;O)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colony_collapse_disorder

Australian honey bees have been imported into the U.S. since 2004 and

until recently it was thought possible that this is how the virus
originally reached North America. Recent findings, however, reveal

the virus has been present in American bees since 2002.

Read first line, and then read the last line of the quote.
Doesn't it say Oz bees arrived 2004 but the virus here since 2002?
