He also placed a few bait hives around the forest so he could monitor mite  
drop.  There were the peaks and troughs. What was unusual was that there  was 
no large fall (autumn) peak.

opinion the chief reason that bees may be able to survive better  in
the wild is because they are usually widely separated and up high in  a

living so close to the ground.
