About the mite bombs, people have been studying this for decades and anyone who says that this phenomenon is unlikely, simply hasn't been paying attention. Dennis's marked bees, however, really nailed it. Way to go, Dennis!
SO your saying all of Dennis marked bees successful carry mites to another hive??? Sounds more like sabotage
I don't think anyone argues drift at all, but there are many of us still pretty skeptical of the math involved for this to be a major factor.
