[QUOTE="NatureAlley, post: 9409, member: 91"] I am also in Dunedin and put strips in from the end of summer (beginning February) based on Varroa numbers dropping on a sticky board rather than going with a set time/date. Of course the numbers depend on hive strength which I find is less variable at the end of summer than at the end of winter. After collecting numbers dropping/24 hrs over the past two seasons I decided this year to use 5-10 mites/24hrs on the sticky board as a threshold. Last year I went with 20-25/24 hrs but that was pushing it really and I collected over 15000 mites from such hives over a period of 6 months. But they are doing fine, same queen, very active. I may have been lucky, we learn as we live! [/QUOTE]
