Yes, discussing brood break and whether there is hard evidence whether brood break is an effective treatment against varroa. I don't think this paper qualifies. That was all I was trying to say. I haven't seen any proof that it is an effective management tool. Plenty of people recommend it, but on what basis, other than "it should help."
