Yoon, if you put a check-mite strip or two into your hives for 6-8 weeks
your bees will be healthy and you will get a lot of honey next year.

It will cost you about 5 dollars per hive.

One of the reasons I don't like my hives next to other people's is that
many other people are selfish, and when the mites start giving the bees
foulbrood, etc.. it makes it difficult for everyone else. The only hive I
lost this year to Varroa was in my only apiary where there was another
beekeeper. After mine were treated and the Varroa gone, his hives died
out, everyone of them. But I guess they succeeded in infecting mine.

If you continue on in your current philisophical or religious path, you
owe it to any other beekeepers in your area to warn them.
