No, the bees are still having a rough time, but... last report I got from my local bee info people is that it is mainly hitting the "professional" bees. The ones that are trucked up and down the country following crops. It seems the relatively unvaried diet is not good for them. The smaller local hives that are subsisting on varied flowers are doing somewhat better.

Don't ask me to cite, I'm all about apiaral hearsay and gossip.
