Details of Paperboard strips (for vaseline)

Laminated cardboard board, 305 × 38 mm and 1.75 mm thick, sold singly.

It slides into the slot of the screened bottom board, greased, to hold whatever drops through the mesh. It is the base of the natural mite drop count: the figure you use to decide whether to act or wait.

01 · MATERIAL

Laminated or solid: they are not interchangeable

Laminated board is glued in layers: the surface stays closed, so it holds the jelly on top instead of drinking it, and the film keeps gripping for days. Solid board is one piece and absorbent, which is why it works soaked rather than greased. Choose wrong and you notice fast: the jelly sinks into the board and the count stops meaning anything.

Laminated (this one)	Solid
Glued in layers · holds the grease on the surface · to be greased.	Single piece · absorbent · works soaked.

02 · USE

Use solid petroleum jelly, not the liquid kind

This is where people slip. Liquid petroleum jelly shifts with any tilt of the hive and what has fallen floats away, so you lose both position and count. What you want is the solid, stiff kind that stays where you put it. A thin, even film is enough: piling it on holds nothing extra and makes the slot harder to clean. Leave it in for a few days, then pull it out and count.

03 · BEFORE YOU BUY

It feels like a notebook cover, only thicker: stiff enough to slide into the slot without folding, and cheap enough to throw away and fit a fresh one at every inspection.
