Calif update on Miteaway treatment.
Mike, I just checked back on a yard of small colonies that we dropped down
to singles, and are feeding.  We applied Miteaway a few days ago.

There is large colony to colony variation in response.  The singles with
8-10 good frames of bees appear to be fine.  However, a few weaker colonies
apparently couldn't ventilate adequately, and lost a number of adults (don't
know where they went, but not on the ground), and killed some sealed brood.

Sounds just like the manufacturer describes in their literature.
