I hived my first package just about 4 weeks ago and the colony is off to a good start and the capped brood are just starting to emerge. I have a screened bottom board and am wondering when i should place a sticky board under the screen to check for mites? I have visually been checking when i do inspections as well as taking pictures for later checks but have not been able to spot anything.
Here is a few pics of the 2nd week inspection
