Hi Frank & all

> 1) Will varroa reliably fall through a 1/8" mesh?

Yes, I have not used anyting else. I have never seen a varroa mite (alive of
dead) on the wire of the mesh.

> 2) Does use open mesh floors promote raiding of hives by small ants?

I do not think it makes any difference, if you have got ants you have an ant
problem.

If you don't have ants I do not think OMFs will cause you to get them.
