> Dr. Eischen compared winter survival of colonies in Calif under various regimens of mite treatment, fumagillin feeding, and protein supplementation. He compared survival of colonies above and below an arbitrary daily natural mite drop of 50 in October. Unless treated for mites, those colonies did not survive. Most of those below that number did.
