I treated my hives 4 days ago with OAV after tearing apart some drone comb between boxes that contained numerous mites.. I have 4 hives but only one with a SBB so I am using it as my gauge for effectiveness.
I have been checking the board daily and it is covered with chewed cappings etc so my old eyes have some difficulty distinguishing between hive trash and dead mites but I certainly see live mites crawling around on the board..
Is this A normal result of a successful treatment or should the mites be dead when they hit the bottom board?
