Hi Tim Arheit

No I've never treated for mites. At this point, I'm afraid there aren't
enough bees remaining to be able to afford an ether roll test. I will try a
mite drop test, but the comments posted here seem mighty convincing that
it's time to treat.

Thanks to all for your helpful comments.


Thanks
