If you visit the DARGbee website you'll see (just to the left of a picture of Keith Delaplane!) a link to a report of the work that has been done on predator mites over the last few years, complete with photographs and graphs. Their conclusions are not effervescing with enthusiasm for the poor mites.
DARG is the acronym of the Devon Apicultural Research Group.
