Screened Bottom Boards

I have two hives both with screened bottom boards. Bought when I started three years ago. For Mites. It seems the jury is still out on how helpful there are with mites. My hives are in the woods, damp and shady. Anyone else using them? I have the inserts in because I restarted with packages two weeks ago. Questions: Pull them off now for the whole Summer? Leave them on see do diagnostics from the fallen debris?

I leave the board in year round. Air still flows through there With it in and I can inspect the mite drop.
