But if high mite loads triggered hygienic behavior, wouldn’t it be triggered without a brood break? If old mites can’t reproduce successfully, how do they begin reproducing in the spring after a long winter brood break?
I have seen many people advocating using a brood break for mite control, but the mechanism of it actually working has never made sense to me.
