Let’s talk about Varroa destructor, folks — the #1 killer of honey bees in the U.S. If you're keeping bees, whether it's one hive or a hundred, you've got to stay on top of your mite levels. Knowing your infestation rate is the first step toward protecting your colonies.
👨🔬 One simple and reliable method? The Varroa Check Kit.

Here's how it works:
Collect 200–300 bees from the brood nest (not the entrance).
Pour in rubbing alcohol or windshield washer fluid — a 1:4 ratio is key.
Shake it like you mean it — for a full minute.
Count the mites. If you see 9 or more mites, it’s time to treat. No delay.
The kit includes a basket, container, and lid — easy to use and clean. This isn’t just for pros — it’s for every beekeeper who wants to keep their bees alive and productive.
🧠 Remember: routine sampling (every month during the active season) can save your hives and your honey harvest.
In Ray’s experience, the best beekeepers are the ones who stay curious, stay educated, and always test — never guess.
🐝 Let’s beat the mite, not lose the fight.
