Less than 20 mites fell off the combs after the powdered sugar treatment - so I don't think there was much of an infestation after all.
Oh well, the local Langstroth beeks can't say I didn't check mine because they keep posting "if beekeepers don't treat for Varroa, it will spread to your neighbor's hives."
That was November 10
Saturday November 12, I refilled the feeders - really?
They were bone dry.
Today, November 13, I checked the feeders and the hive activity and the bees are STILL bringing in pollen. Wow.
It was 63 degrees today. If it cools off, I'll remove the feeders.
