Reading it  I see a couple of things that jump out,  first  obviously  the
control of "no treatment"  was a leap of fantasy,  but what is more
interesting is the mite levels are considerably higher in the hives on
coated seed.  It appears no attempt to evaluate mite load was done before
placing hives.  What are the odds that the heavy mite load hives  "just
ended up" in the treated fields???

Not enough time elapsed to say that the mites do better because....

Really short window of testing.  

Christana (or anyone)  can you explain figure 2 ??    Not sure what the
differences in the two graphs are supposed to be??
