In the past, when I was commercial, an exact figure has not been of any real practical
importance since I was monitoring widely, knew the seasonal drop expectations, and
stayed well below established thresholds.
At this point it is of interest because I have only a few data points and am closer to
the thresholds -- and am trying to evaluate a treatment. I am also using EPS boxes
and had some small colonies with open floors, which are different from my typical
experience. I may also have more late-season brood than in my historical management.
The total does not really matter, but is a matter of curiosity at this point, since I
am trying to anticipate the end point of the treatment, and also estimate its
ultimate efficacy in advance. I'll be able to deduce the totals better at the end.

I have looked high and low on your site for it. Is it there somewhere?
