Hi Mike and All,

I've been using Mite-away II for a few years now here in Ontario.  This year 
with my Russian bees there are fewer mites falling than my Carniolans,  with 
all hives dropping fewer mites than other years Mike, so I appear to be the 
opposite of you.  I had thought that all this rain had slowed the mites 
down.  It sure had an impact on the honey as I'm down 20%.  I have always 
experienced a few dead bees and brood out front and this fall is no 
exception.  All hives seem to have 5-15 dead out front, maybe a bit more but 
not much.  Never been a problem for me.
