--Greetings,   when at the AHP meeting in Baton Rouge l had the impression
that this deep screened varroa bottom was designed to trap the varroa under
the screen, the reasoning being that the mite is unable to get back up into
the colony if the bottom board is deep enough and screened.If this is the
case, and there is heavy mite fall during the transport of hives
(pollination) then this bottom board may be a tool to keep varroa levels at
a tolerable level during the summer.Any thoughts from those who were at
Baton Rouge?
