>  The mite foundresses were congregating in some areas of the frame.  There
were large areas with no mites, and some areas with lots of mites

Is this not the problem with using drone brood uncapping as a monitoring
method because the mites are not spread evenly through the brood nest?

Does this suggest that they gather in one area in order to reduce
brother/sister mating?

Best wishes
