Total mite counts from sticky bottom boards: Weekly mite counts were done over the trial period to monitor population development. Varroa treatments were applied in week 0 (pouches for dsRNA group and strips for miticide group) and week 3 (only dsRNA pouches). Total counts are displayed on the y-axis on a logarithmic scale and treatment weeks are shown on the x-axis. dsRNA treated hives had lower mite numbers than the untreated control group throughout the trial.
