     Hello all,
 
     I was just wondering -- has anyone out there noticed marked changes in
     their hives' agressive behavior when the bees are infected with
     T-mites ? One of my hives has a very heavy infestation of T-mites, and
     boy, is she nasty!!! Had to break down and buy a bee-suit just for
     this hive. Last time I really worked it, I combed about 300 stingers
     from my canvas gloves. And anyone who uses canvas gloves with nasty
     hives, knows I've now bought a pair of leather ones.....And yes, a new
     queen in in place.
 
     Anyway, I would really be interested in any observations. Thanks.
 
     Mike
