Changing the topic again: What's happening? Are the dreaded vampire mites
turned into pussycats this year or have beekeeepers learned to cope?
What is going on?

I think most beekeepers have adapted. I suffered a broken ankle last year
and was about 4 weeks later getting the Apistan in. The mites got 16
colonies in the fall and more died in the winter even though they had
stores. I found mites last week in very strong hives when I started spring
treatment.
