Another factor is that commercial beekeepers who didn't treat for mites are
no longer in business, and thus don't fill out the survey.  On the other
hand, recreational beekeepers who have time on their hands to fill out
surveys, and are bummed due to the death rates of their colonies, skew the
results.
