At the end of July I did a 24 hour mite check (no powdered sugar treatment) and found 5 mites. On 8/21, I gave my bees a powdered sugar treatment , installed the SBB tray, and 24 hours later counted 55 mites. A week later, on 8/28, I did another count ( no further sugaring) and found another 50 mites.
My Question: I understand the sugaring will have an immediate effect of causing mite dropping, but does it also continue to act on them for some time?
Thanks, Ray
