Hi, Lilia.
 
   The beekeeper I work with was just given two bee colonies.  He moved
them onto campus for me so I could try to get some fresh varroa samples for
you.  He thinks they might have a high rate of infestation.
 
   I plan to go out there this morning, preserve some in alcohol, and mail
them to you directly.
