Aaron:
Moving to get rid of old workers might work for trachael
mites, but would have opposite effect for varroa mites and
make matters worse IMPOV, and most likely lead to quicker
hive collaspe by putting pressure on younger bees, newly
emerged bees, and brood startups.

The varroa is a different creature with different routes
then trachael mites in the lungs. Hasn't anyone taken this
into consideration when moving bees this way? Especially on
shortening of bees lives?????? by numbers parasiting on
bodies vs age of bees vs inside ro outside of the cell
even?? something is starting to register wrong.
