Title: SBB corrugated sheet
Post by: timdalyiii on July 07, 2008, 09:54:31 PM
When am I supposed to remove the corrugated sheet from my screened bottom board and when am I supposed to leave it in?

Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge and experience.

You mean the mite board?  I leave mine out all the time, only use when I do a sugar shake to check mites levels, when and if I get around to it.

Same here!!! Just use them for counting the mites.

You can also use them on a cold winter to help keep the chill out.

Yes, the mite board.  I didn't know what it was called.

Thank you for your responses.

Many folks put them in for over-wintering, & they have to be in if you're treating with formic acid (MiteAway II)
