With no chemicals in the hives I sometimes get nucs that don't hold a
queen and everything in the world shows up.  I have moved all the hives high
enough(concrete block 16 inches) to give me a control on the family ants.
       I hope someone can come up with one aunt that we might train to eat
mites.  Something like the cleanner fish in the ocean.  If anyone has knowledge
in this area and can give me some directions I will not put that aunts into
the flames of the torch.  I use a self lighting propane torch for bug controls.
