After watching the American dcoumentary on failing hives the other week I'm not surprised they are losing so many colonies. Transporting them 1000's of miles whilst hibernating must cause an amazing amount of stress. The stress itself would leave the creature open to disease. Neon tetra when stressed come out in white spots and soon die untreated. Even humans are more open to viruses and are generally unwell during stress let alone a hibernating insects!
