>>While talking about the package bee industry spreading... treatments... in packages... be part of the problem?
I bought my one and only package some years ago and on the first inspection after installation, I was a number of varroa mites on the bees. I'd think treatment residues in packages are insignificant but mites, for example, may certainly not be.
