Had a swarm show up on my property and was able to settle them into a 3 super hive. I am assuming they came from a nearby commercial beekeeper, but I don't how to contact him. Should I spray for mites this fall after honey production, or not?

You should always treat for mites ONLY after a mite count. Don't treat if not needed. It will only cause the mites to become resistent.

I'm curious. What would you spray them with?
