To Chris,Dee,Bob, Aaron & all,
Many different thoughts on this subject.
Why not use control methods for varroa & tracheal mites,is it that much more($$) to put menthol towels on than move them?

To me ,I try to address the source of the problem. With one visit I can feed pollen Pattie,feed syrup, treat for both mites,and treat for foul brood in the fall ,if necessary.

I only move when I have to, Kills queens (hives) and is wear and tear on equipment($$), and trucks loaders etc...
I do agree with Bob, that most commercial beekeeping methods are not in books.
