How many mites is too much in the hive?? Do you need calculate them?
Varroa douple its number in every month. It depends much on the length of brooding period, how much they will be.
Here is two examples when mites are five or 15 pieces in spring when brooding starts.
march april may .....june ...july august .. septem ....och.. ... novem
5 ….. 10 ….. 20 ….. 40 …..... 80 ….. 160 …..... 360 ..…. 700 …. 1400
15 ….. 30 ….. 60 ….. 120 ….. 250 ….. 500 ….. 1000 ….. 2000 ….. 4000
1000 mites is a limit when mite number is serious and you should do something
