Randy asks:
> What was the varroa infestation rate at the time of taking the sample?
The sample was taken mid September and they recorded 5 per 100. Looking at my notes, the average mite load for that yard was 4 per 100 in July.
MAQs were applied the first week of August, and then again Sept 20. Unfortunately, due to work and family stuff, I never got back to check mites again in October.
No other treatments were applied, just the MAQs. But I have talked to people that did a late oxalic and their losses seem to be as high as mine.
