"I wonder if this is because of the efficacy of the sampling method itself, poor technique by the administrators of the test, or something about those that do sugar rolls that prevent them from following through with treatment or regular monitoring."

My feeling is the softer the motoring method the less likely they are going to follow threw. 87% reported using some sort of monitoring, but almost 50% didn't treat.  (again using the 5 year average)...
Like wise the more different products used, the lower the losses.   
I think its just indicative of how aggressive they go after the mites, when you look at the commercial numbers there is far less spread between monitoring  methods.
