Thought I’d share the two images showing mite fall following vaping, from the period 24 - 48 hours. Similar results as this were seen after the first 24 hours too.
The colonies are about 20 feet apart.
Amazing how different they can be.BCD5B72B-01C6-49BE-BBF0-3F691FE1C447.jpegB068BD29-D5F6-420A-9F45-1EDA8C75DF61.jpeg
Some oxalic appears to have deposited onto the tray on the left, from the mesh floor. Perhaps the vape on that hive wasn’t as successful, but it appeared to be at the time.

I think you are correct.
