> I'm amazed at how cavalier some beeks are in regards to mite control. Even if mite rolls are low we still treat. The next hatch is coming along with more mites.

I am amazed how many assume that losses can be prevented simply by following directions. I applied formic (MAQs) to my 20 colonies on 3 occasions this year. The colonies made a generous honey crop despite the severe drought and looked good in October. Half of the are already gone, some with dead bees on the bottom board, some with no bees at all.
