> This is what I observed in my operation in the winter of 2005/2006, the year before Hackenberg's debut.  Apparently independent of mites.

Also, in the initial news reports, they were saying mite levels were low. Well, they would be low in fall after a hard knockdown with Maverick or whatever. Also, sometimes colonies lose a lot of mites when the foragers die off. It seems to be a way that mites can distribute themselves, as well as a way that a colony rids itself of them.
