>> Yes that seem to be the case even if their argument sounds pretty lame I don't know how many times I have heard large commercial concerns (literally thousands of hives) blame their 'unexplained high mite count' on some hobby beekeeper across the fence who has 1 to 3 hives.

True,  but I hear a lot more of the opposite!  Hobby people with no controls blaming commercial guys who generally are on top of things! You can find it printed in many places,  and that’s what everyone hears when they see a presentation on mite bombs.
