Wondering if the social distancing reduced the spread of virus in the bee colonies, why so many collapsed because of the virus?

1: varroa is a parasitic mite, not a virus

2: honeybees live in a hive - no amount of "social distancing" can fix the hive being infested with mites

3: CCD is multifactorial, and things like lower genetic diversity, neonicotinoid pesticides, and long-range transportation/mixing of bee hives and regional populations also play a role.
