Peter:
"the short
post-capping period of African worker brood [would] disrupt
the reproductive biology of varroa mites" but " varroa
mites are quite capable of reproducing and increasing on
worker brood of African honeybees, the short post-capping
period notwithstanding".

Reply:
Technically, I can agree with this, though all parameters
are not layed out. But as written above can agree.

He says quite plainly:
"The smaller worker cells appear NOT to inhibit the mating
of mites during the post-capping period." 

Reply:
Again, technically as written can agree with what is
written here, though all parameters are not layed out
again. But as written above can agree. 

YOu see with both, it's the technicalities as written and
you need to read close and then not read things into it
more so then what is written........

Sincerely,

Dee A. Lusby
