Importance of Varroa Monitoring
Regular monitoring is essential to prevent varroa levels from skyrocketing, compromising colony health. Varroa affects both honey production and bee vitality, as it spreads diseases that can lead to complete hive loss. Performing regular varroa checks during these key times of the year ensures treatments are effective and helps plan proactive interventions:
• Early Spring: Initial detection to assess treatment needs.
• During Honey Flow: Intermediate monitoring to prevent excessive mite growth.
• Late Summer/Early Autumn: Crucial check to assess treatment efficacy before overwintering.
• Winter (colonies without brood): Final review to ensure the colony enters winter with a low mite load.
Technical Specifications and Use of the Varroa EasyCheck
• Sample Capacity: Container with markings for samples of 200 and 300 bees. The lower line indicates around 200 bees, suitable for weaker colonies; the upper line holds 300 bees for a more accurate result.
• Materials: Durable, transparent plastic container with internal filter for easy mite counting. Suitable for long-term reuse.
• Monitoring Methods:
• Alcohol Wash: High accuracy, recommended for primary checks.
• Sugar Method: Non-lethal method that effectively separates mites on dry days.
• CO₂ Application: Fast, less invasive method that keeps bees alive.
Counting Process: Divide the number of mites by 3 (for 300 bees) or by 2 (for 200 bees) to obtain the infestation percentage.
Monitoring Method Comparison
| Method | Accuracy | Bee Impact | Ideal Conditions | Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alcohol Wash | High | Bees are killed | Any time of year | Standard, very accurate method | Requires alcohol, bees are sacrificed |
| Sugar Method | Moderate | Bees remain alive | Dry days, best in spring | Cost-effective and non-lethal | Less precise, variable results |
| CO₂ Application | Moderate | Bees remain alive | Requires CO₂ injector | Keeps bees alive | Requires specific equipment |
