Randy Oliver:
However, Marla Spivak in Mites and the Honeybee, p.208 says
this hypothesis has been disproved.

I have read this too, in the past, but since references
used were, for example here's one: Effectiveness of Asuntol
(coumaphos), Perizin (Coumaphos), Mitac (amitraz) and
ppowder of sulphur with naphthalene for the control of bee
mites (Varroa Jacobsoni and Tropilaelaps clareae) in
Thailand,...... and other reference used: Mites, pests and
beekeeping with Apis cerana and Apis mellifera in
Thailand,....... and knowing how coumaphos effects/affects
honey bee reproduction and would then effect/affect mite
reproduction, besides probably side by tests in Thailand
done with hives in same yards, I really don't by into the
statement that the JGH III has been actually ruled
out..................Just my POV due to reference given!!
As for authors where to find more info on long-lived and
short-lived mites well try:
Dr Larry Connor
Bernard Mobus
Hennry Hermann
And Alfred Dietz
of course there are more!

Dee
