> the debate between the two methods at any scale of beekeeping would hold
more weight for me if I'd ever seen conflicting results between the two
methods
I've attached some data of my own, published in ABJ in my test of thermal
treatment.
A plot of data that I collected a few years ago, from 12 double-deep hives,
averaging 13 frames of bees, during August. Although there is only a very
rough correlation between infestation rates and mite drops, I eyeballed a
regression line of 3x the alcohol wash count, ignoring the few outlier
hives that exhibited unexpectedly low mite drops. Note that stickyboard
counts can greatly underestimate the infestation rate of the adult bees in
the hive.
