Jim Hock:
Did we ever have mites?

Reply:
Badly. Both trachael and varroa, and melted down whole
outfit twice over it, and retooled thru two major
regressions down in size, to overcome problems of mites and
accompanying secondary diseases.

As for beetles, not concerned. Consider beetles everywhere
also and don't have time to look as bees are fine.

Our major concerns are breaking this long, ongoing drought
out here in desert southwest, and animal (4 legged/ 2
legged predators).
