Mike, I fully agree with your recent comments.
Several hypotheses for mite drift were presented last year at around this
time.
We can talk all we want, but that's just talk.

In order to support or refute the various hypotheses, we need to collect
hard data.
I'm in the middle of doing so, by performing a beekeeper-financed,
elaborate and expensive field experiment, which should be over in about a
month.  Thanks to those of you who have contributed to support this
research!  Hard answers soon.
