When? I mean is this summer and full expanded broodnest or autumn or
spring żlate or early?
I like that upside-down Spanish question mark Juanse....reminds me of your earlier post about perspective and where hardy queens come from.
I went through my notes to see. The first time I noticed uneven distribution of mite foundresses was actually last year, but I didn't think much beyond "Yikes. I need to treat". And my notes don't tell me when I did this because all I recorded was which hives needed treatments, not which hive I pulled drones from.
This year I looked randomly at a frame here and there. One in early June. Another couple in early August. But my notes aren't good enough to know anything else. Seems like no matter how hard I try to keep good notes, I never anticipate the information I wish I had later on. So next year I will try to do a better job.
