What do you consider high or low numbers- to vary your response. Rhetorical question.Just place the strips as soon as you get them. There is no question you will have varroa, and its population will be building fast. Now gives the new generation a chance to be free of the varroa and the associated virus.If you are up for the challenge / want the knowledge / the point of the varroa tests is to see how effective the treatment has been, so a test before starting, and one at the end is requiredI hope the new brood box will have drawn comb rather than foundation?</blockquote>
