Jane,
I sent you a separate message but forgot to mention the
little 1993 book, THE NEW VARROA HANDBOOK by Bernhard Mobus and Clive de
Bruyn. I believe you can obtain a copy from Wicwas Press: (203) 250-7575
Apparently, clear evidence of infestation may mean any action you
can take could be too late.
