> why SEVEN days apart??? Why not 4 or 5?
Two reasons. First...recommendation of vaporizer manufacturer. Second...my
attempt to treat as many yards as possible with each round. I'm working
alone at this, and with 35 yards to treat, I decided on a 7 day rotation.
I'm sure some of the phoretic mites will re-enter brood, but I think most
will be killed.
I counted 24 hr stickies yesterday
>for a 2-week post follow up. Mite levels were down to about 10-15.
What was the count pre-treatment?

Do you think that these might have raised their own queens, and aren't your
VSH queens?
