<The responsible thing to do would be
to warn him about your high mite loads.>

I believe he is implying that his high mite loads were picked up from the
treatment free hives crashing, thus the warning should have come from the
other direction.  Of course that is an assumption with all its usual
flaws.  I'm guessing that the treatment-free guy wasn't checking mite loads
(and yet another assumption) so it would not be possible to say
definitively they came from one direction or another.
