[QUOTE="tristan, post: 13262, member: 30"] not what i meant, tho thats a good way to check for consistency. the co2 test doesn't get every mite thats on the bee sample. it might only find 50% or 70% depending on how its done (even alcohol wash doesn't get 100%). if you alcohol wash that sample after the co2 then you see what mites its missed. then you can improve it. otherwise you could be underreporting by a large amount. of course only need to alcohol wash them until you have the test up to a reasonable standard.
