Hi Aaron

> the MPB (mite per bee) scores in the article made me think it would be a good strategy to do an oxalic srip when installing new packages, although I have no idea what would be the proper volume of oxalix/sugar syrup to use.

The broodless condition of a package makes it an ideal candidate for 
lactic acid misting, providing the bees can be spread thin enough to all 
receive a dose.
