Well, I wonder if any varroa can be detected.
 
What is the cost of sampling vs. treatment?
 
What is the effect of fluvalinate on wintering bees?
 
My understanding is that it is a poison that affects the bees only
to a lesser extent than the mites.
 
Why use it if no mites can be found?
 
Regards
 
Allen
