Actually, we did not find *any* varroa the bees had not already discovered
and uncapped, and that was only in a few cells per hive.  Some had none that
we could see.  The article is at:

FWIW, we tried some plastic 4.9 foundation that Dee kindly sent us.  It
didn't work out too well, but that was our fault.  Joe just made up some
hives of the foundation and dumped some bees in. See

plastic foundation for the pictures.
