[QUOTE="Stephen Horsley, post: 12964, member: 491"] After being wiped out I was notified about a swam and collected as much as I could. Placed in new box and monitored over a week. It wasn't a large swarm, about 2 frames. Could not find queen so was in doubt I caught her? So I purchased 5 brood frames with bees and a new queen. The queen was added by installing in queen box with 4-5 bees and a marshmello. I placed 4 bayvarol strips and a sticky board. Removed the sticky board after 3 days and counted 61 mites. Hard to know if the swarm was heavily infected or the new brood and bees? Dividing that by 3 gives 20 mites a day. This seems high. I am happy to treat now as I've been burned once already. Have placed another sticky board and will monitor in 3 days time. How often do I monitor with sticky boards to obtain effectivness of treatment? [/QUOTE]
