    Default 2011 varroa levels

    I started treating colonies around mid August with Apiguard and have seen hardly any mites dropping. Other years I have had a drop of 150 in the first 24 hours from some colonies. This year I am seeing just a few mites on the boards I have examined.
    Anyone else seeing lower than usual varroa levels? Last season's treatment was Apiguard in September and Oxalic in December.
