Randy is very curious for hear what kind of mite levels the bees 
have--alcohol wash of 1/2 cup of bees from the brood area (or center 
of the cluster).

Bees were collected into alcohol from the cluster center of two colonies.
Varroa mites in the two collections of bees are as follows:
8 mites per 304 bees.
11 mites per 370 bees.
