Howdy folks,

I've been searching the archives for info on mite counts, and have found some good formulas for estimating mite loads, but have not found any simple rule of thumb for what I would call an "action" threshold.

When doing a 24 hour mite drop count (with varroa screen/sticky board), is there any consensus on what count should prompt treatment?


Thanks,

Todd.
