Had a very thorough look a screen today that was last cleared 7 days ago. 1
live mite and one dead one.
I also uncapped a considerable amount of drone brood - perhaps 500 - 600.
No mites - but I brought them home and the robin currently sitting her
second clutch of 5 eggs in the potting shed will have a feast!
