So, if I understand you correctly, the mites and sugar are left on the
ground.  How do you know what happens to those mites when bees show up later
to harvest the sugar?

I slapped my collection boards into a screened box so I could take the mites
and used sugar home and treat it like hazardous waste.  My box was actually
a deep hive body on a screen on a deep hive body on an inverted cover.
