>What I really learned is that mites drops vary between sunny days and
cloudy days. Strong hives drop more mites than weak hives (duh). I also
learned sticky boards are not the best way to assess the mite loads. This
was back in the stone age before we started alcohol wash and powdered sugar
shakes which are much more accurate when done correctly.
Thank you Grant for the words of wisdom!
