Hi Dee

In a recent post, you suggested that people shouldn't freak out about a
large mite fall during the late summer brood turnover.  I see this in my
colonies, yet can't find any studies with long-term stickyboard counts to
document this phenomenon--a spike in mite fall, then a drop afterward.

Could you please describe your observations, or post a study reference?

Thanks,
Randy Oliver
