An old friend contacted me with a question. He was a State Apiculturist for many years. Over those years he performed many thousands of alcohol washes looking at mite populations. After some time off, he washed some colonies last week. He thinks the mites he is seeing now are smaller than the mites he saw some number of years ago. Since he isn't online, I'm asking for him. Anyone who has sampled for mites over the last 20 or 30 years. Are you seeing smaller mites now than you did back then?
