Richard, I also live in NW/SC, near the Glassy Mountain area. I can't give you an answer and I don't think anyone really knows. I can tell about my neighbors bee keeping experience. I had not seen bees here for years. I think the mites killed all most all of our wild hives and the bears repopulating probably hasn't helped.

My neighbor is a smart fellow, an engineer that works on nuclear power plants and even he's wondering what's going on too.
