 Thanks Joe for the post.
  This is a subject that all beekeepers must understand.We all need to
know more on how our bees are dieing, do to Varroa. PMS is too large of a
blanket to cover the mite problem.
 We can see that we have more than one pathogen working against our bees.
 Brenda Ball has worked hard over the last 3 years to come up with her new
info. Take a good look at her info and we can understand why, Varroa did a
large scale kill on our bees in 1995.
