Wouldn't it be the other way around? Start earlier in the North, and later in the South?
Interesting thought, certainly plausible. I was thinking the exponential growth in mites would rise sooner in the south as they start brood cycles so much earlier. I see your point and thought process though.
100% agree on losing and mite numbers climbing. I see it also. I tend to suspect there is another factor at play here. One we are missing. We do know that late summer brood is less attended and tends to take a bit longer to hatch which may help Varro, there may be some climatic event that triggers something. And it could simply bee the compound interest theory really kicks in.
I do know Randy is working super hard on trying to put it all together. He's been kind of obsessed with the math, while most of us just want to kill the little buggers. I have a lot of confidence his math is better than mine, and he will make Varro pop work pretty well.
