Hi Jerry!
 
Nice to communicate with you again. Your observation certainly fits with reports
from Europe about large numbers of bees leaving varroa infested hives before
they collapse. In your case I suppose it was too cold for them to go anywhere?
Are you familiar with the Tucson situation a couple of years ago documenting
apparent desertion of a honey bee colony heavily infested with the tracheal
mite? Did you test your bees for that beast?
