>Has anyone done a study where multiple samples were taken from the same
colony at the same time or one consecutive days?
See http://scientificbeekeeping.com/mite-management-update-2013/
>Has anyone ever sampled all the adult bees in a colony to see how many
adult mites are present?
Yes, I and others have. But total mite pop means little. It is the
infestation *rate* that is more meaningful, since it relates to the
transmission of viruses, and the ensuing epidemic in the hive.
