>And if the colony survives, does that mean the bees are a tolerant
stock, or the mites are less virulent?
For me it would make no difference, if it meant the
bees in my region were more productive.
PS.
Got a strange request from a carpet cleaner company
for my phone number, because they have been getting
an abundance of phone calls for honeybee removals.
It seems their trade name 'Bee Clean' and logo of
a honey bee are confusing panicked homeowners
who do not read their advertisement carefully,
and are calling them for bee removal service.
Best Wishes,
Joe Waggle
