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 started with a single hive a couple of years ago, by last Fall he had added three more hives. Over the winter two of his broods just disappeared. Same circumstances, honey in the super but no bees. As far as the bears go, his hive area looks like a prison, totally fenced in chain link and barbed wire. He also runs an electric fencer drop from his chicken yard.

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