Dave:
You are so right Dave, in that when a beekeeper finds a
mite drop that he considers high, it is likely that he will
reach for a hard chemical treatment, when the cause of the
mite drop may have been bees that were more effective at
getting varroa out of their nest without chemical help;
this is the bad part,the then treating of your best bees,
when in actually you should let'em be, and follow what they
are doing, and make more bees from them instead of those
with low counts, that many times mean they cannot handle
the load in grooming and other in house duties.

Regards to you,

Dee
