11/30 Removed sticky board and counted mites. 160 over two days, so 80 per day - still too high. Checked instructions for the formic acid pads (Mite-Away II) and found that a break of 1 month is needed between consecutive treatments, so that is probably it now for the winter.
11/28 With Jessica's help we placed a sticky (oily) board under the AL hive to count varroa mites.
11/19 Removed formic acid pad from AL langstroth hive - placed in hive 21 days previously.
