[QUOTE="tristan, post: 5795, member: 30"] without any real info its hard to even guess. my suspicion is beeks have walked away from hives and let them die. that can get mite numbers to jump up out of sequence. or short cut treatment to save $$$. probably more beeks putting hives into pollination to make a $ which spreads issues (which john B mentioned a while back) especially for early kiwi the timing is pretty good to cause mites to get up to damaging amounts before autumn treatment comes around. but until you can prise the info out of those on the coal face, its only guess work.
