Thanks Joe. The count that I find most consistently accurate is the alcohol
wash of a level 1/2 cup of bees from a brood frame. Medhat's double shaker
is the easiest, but can alternatively wash them through a coarse kitchen
sieve in a bowl of alcohol.
Would be very curious as to the actual percent mite infestations over the
season.
