Hi Allen et al

A great post! I remember some researchers in UK a few years ago bemoaning
the fact that they could not maintain sufficient infestations of varroa
mites to conduct their work properly.

There is a move afoot to encourage "mite damaging" behaviour. in an attempt
to quantify and "score" this damage I am trying to devise a scale of marking
that would produce a more accurate measure of this activity. Is there any
existing "marking scheme" for this behaviour?
