Changing the topic again: What's happening?  Are the dreaded vampire mites
turned into pussycats this year or have beekeeepers learned to cope?
 
What is going on?

I think most beekeepers have adapted.  I suffered a broken ankle last year
and was about 4 weeks later getting the Apistan in.  The mites got 16
colonies in the fall and more died in the winter even though they had
stores.  I found mites last week in very strong hives when I started spring
treatment.
