Thanks, Randy for your clarification. You wrote: "In short, our findings were that sugar dusting is more accurate as a determination of mite level in a colony...However, sugar dusting is not effective at reducing mite levels. To us, it is highly useful for quickly screening all colonies in yards for mite levels."
If I understand your position correctly, powdered sugar dusting is more effecatious in getting a mite drop count. But to my line of logic, wouldn't a dusting hasten and increase the mite drop, that if done repeatedly, over the course of the summer, reduce the mite levels?
