For your sake I hope you are right. As I read the report, the captain stated that dead bees were found on the floor of the ship so apparently the bees had indeed " orientated " or at least tried to on their journey , I don't think they were being good little bees and staying put in their place, just because the ship hadn't yet reached dock, of course on the high seas there was no where for them to go but round about the ship, Naturally using plain common scene, the drones would naturally do what most sailors do when arriving at port? I really doubt that they would sit around and wait for the officials to come and Eradicate them with in "hours" of their arrival in Victoria, or wait to pass customs before taking off, maybe looking for girls, and unlike a sailor, they need no permission to leave the ship, no leave of absence, or any bus or taxi to take them to the drone hang out or bar. They have wings to go as they please. So, we in America were also once Afrinized bee free. How did they reach Florida, I will tell you, on a ship. Your country, your bees , your future, your concern, not mine. I was only trying to help and point out that the mite should not be your only concern, but I say again best of luck to you cousin... And you are welcome for my heart felt concern for your providence weather you appreciate it or not. Reguards, Phillip Hall
