2 week ---- 20 %
3 week -----13 %
4 week ------8 %
5 week ------5 % 

A finnish researcher Seppo Korpela has calculated during many years mites' drop

year 2000  altogether 34468 falled mites

Finksy, see, I am not the only one that is interested in mite counting.  It is a hobby of mine to keep bees, and to know what is going on within colonies makes my hobby even more understandable.  Hobbies are time consuming and a wonderful thing to be involved in.  Hobbies are works of love, otherwise, why bother with the hobbies.  To understand everything about a hobby might make a person good at their hobby.  That is my inspiration, to become excellent at my hobby.  One day, my hobby may make me some money, too.  That is a good thing.  I will count mites, I will be informed.  Have a great and wonderful day.  Cindi

By the way, for you, Finsky:

Finsky, the world of cyberspace.  My Sister-in-Law (Finnish) has a friend, Eija, who lives in the northern part of Finland.  Eija understood this dialect, she translated for me.  Kiitos.  Have a wonderful and great day, don't spend too much time scratching yourself, that can lead to problems.  Cindi
