Greetings -

When doing a count to assess varroa levels, what do y'all use on your
sticky boards when you place the board under the screened bottom board?

I have heard, at different times and from various sources, that liquid
oil (i.e. canola) is too thin, and that solid shortening (i.e. Crisco)
is too solid.  I don't want the rascally critters crawling off,
uncounted!
