Turns out my mite control early in the year was not as effective as expected, so I have one hive with an excessive mite load. This is my second year as a beek, so still dialing in how to be a beekeeper rather than a varroa mite keeper. I did a full course of OA vaporization over the last two weeks (3 vaporizations) but my sticky board is still showing ~40 mites per day.
I am debating doing another course of OA vaporization; do some of you more experienced folks out there think that's a good/bad idea? Any other recommendations?
