Hey List,

Here in Ontario I've had Formic pads in for about 12 days.  There has been a significant mite drop this year.  I was experiencing mite drop to numerous to count for about 4 days until it has diminished to about 10-15 per 24 hr.  I just wonder if the wet summer weather had anything to do with it.  After I removed the supers at the end of August I requeened and in the process of killing the old queen I noticed bees with the tell tell signs of Varroa.  Deformed wings.  Anyone else noticed an increase?
