Celeste,

A few questions.

1- Was this a change from before, what were the pre-treatment mite counts? 6-9 pre to 9-15 post, and I can’t remember for Ian’s but more post to the teens.

2- Where did you place the treatment in the hive?  Where was the brood, where was the treatment? Below the super and stores on top of brood in mine and for Ian’s on top of 2 10 frame deeps with brood in the top box.

3- Did you close off the bottom board with entrance wide open or something like this? Screen bottom left open, entrance open except for boardman feeder.

4- Are there other hives in the neighborhood (1-2 miles) what you know of that may be very high in mites? Yes close, but well managed and also getting aqigaurd treatment about the same time.

5. Did you do two full treatments, 2 weeks apart? Yes

Please share suggestions for the next step.  1.5 and 2 wks post end of full time for aqigaurd treatment in two different locations but close (mine and Ian’s), we both had post aqigaurd mite counts in the teens.  Thanks, Celeste
