We went into 1 of our two hives today and had no mites in our sample (sugar roll test). Keep in mind that this is a hive that swarmed earlier in the year. Hope to go into the other hive later this week.

Greetings SDCBeeks:

I know this was brought up earlier in the summer, and I'm curious what people's experiences are now as we close the summer:  we have been having very low (neglible) mite counts this year. 

Are others having "regular" mite years so far, or lower than average?  (and of course the #s will go up as fall kicks in...)

Thanks for responding with your observations this summer!
