Ask away, but I lost 60%+ over the winter so I may not be the smartest. I know Cali a little bit... have done some beekeeping down there!

Did that sugar test for mites ,it showed maybe 9 mites per cup
of bees,so i placed 2 miteaway bags in the hive.

Now it looks like some have died or walking around in a drunken stooper did i over dose them. is this normal??

Is that the recommended dose? Already a bit beyond what I know. They should be affected, maybe act a bit numbskullish but generally they shouldnt die... Maybe give more ventillation/ open the entrance more. If you have trouble with formic, then try oxalic maybe. The vapor or glycerin treatments.

I tried them a couple times, I didn't have the time to really learn and study what was going on. I had my hives die over the winter both times.

Give Doug English an email. He was a bee keeper for years and had a nice set up last time I helped him move a gourd.

Dead bees make good fertilizer.
