Hi to all,

I would be most interested to get an indication of varroa mite levels as
present in bee colonies for the season 2004.

Having for some reason a very low level of mites present in my colonies
(resulting in the non treatment before wintering), I am wondering if
there is a cyclical pattern in their numbers over the years - one that
may even show through the different treatment regimes used.

Ta!
Peter

P.S.
First snow has fallen here in South Manitoba, therefore presume that
winter is somewhere near.
Canola harvest still underway.
Much of the sunflower crop stands with heads bend and seed cases
consisting of moulding creamy material good for those fibre bars!
