That cage is the best one. I tried all of them and invented some and that one is the best. My dearth is all summer long and I caged for 25 days.. let queens out to lay a box and caged again. After that I purposely left those same queens to overwinter.. when in reality that would be the time to put new queens in. To shorten it there was no problem.
I'm caging queens for almost a decade and I would go so far to say l don't have a varroa problem anymore

It would have been nice to see the brood population plotted with the mite population.

There's always more to be looked at! Emailing Dr. Jack may yield that info? Try and let us know!

Is there a comparison or control methodology to assess any permanent damage done to the bee immune system health in regard that all colonies in the experiment were bombarded with regular variety of mite controls? Thank you James VIC AUS
