Hi Kim, I read your comments on the blog about Mite Bombs.
Can you tell us more about the characteristics that they found in Europe
about mite bombs?
This phenomena is not mentioned in Beekeepers Handbook or Honey Bee Biology.
Does robbing create them in our managed monitored hive? Does that mean that
neglected, highly infested neighbor hives are the source? This doesn't
make sense tho, because we wouldn't expect such a highly infested source
hive to behave that way, too weak to do much robing. It would be dying from
PMS.
