Hi Wayne and All

A month or so ago I asked this list if they were seeing low levels of  
varroa as I was.  No one replied!  I asked at the 2 local Beek clubs  
of which I am a member; "Who has checked their varroa levels?" Almost  
no one had checked!  The Apiarist at U of Guelph was the only other  
person I know who did not treat, for varroa, all hives this autumn  
based on his varroa monitoring(treated 20 hives out of several hundred).

I do not believe that Marla means, in the quote above, "treat all  
hives in spite of your monitoring results"
