"Never" is a strong word Charlie : )

When Taktic was unavailable a few years ago, a number of commercial
beekeepers inadvertently cut their pollination hive numbers in half or
worse due to lack of mite control.  Many today realize reduced honey crops
for the same reason.

There is nothing like the complete failure of a favorite miticide to shift
"never" to everyday practice.
