Q: What is the Varroa Easy Check used for?

The Varroa Easy Check helps beekeepers measure Varroa mite levels by collecting a sample of bees and separating the mites for counting. Regular mite checks can help you make more informed hive-management decisions.

How many bees should I use for a mite check?

The recommended sample is approximately 300 bees, which is about half a cup. The built-in measuring basket helps make it easier to collect a consistent sample.

What methods can I use with the Varroa Easy Check?

The tester supports three sampling methods: alcohol wash, powdered sugar, and CO₂. This gives beekeepers flexibility to use the monitoring method that best fits their management approach.

How does the Varroa Easy Check make mites easier to count?

Its measuring basket and mesh design allow dislodged mites to pass into the clear container below while keeping the bee sample in the basket, making the mites easier to see and count.

How can mite counts help me manage my hive?

A mite count gives you a snapshot of the Varroa level in your colony, helping you monitor changes over time and determine when further hive-management action may be needed.

Makes Mite Tests More Accurate

Very effective at separating Varroa Mites from bees, allowing for easy viewing, counting, and calculation of the number of mites per 100 bees. I'm very happy with this relatively simple piece of kit, as it makes seeing the number of mites that wash off of your bee sample very easy. I only use an alcohol wash, not the sugar roll method, so I can't speak for how well it works in that application. I do think that this is a bit overpriced for what amounts to three pieces of plastic, but it works well, and I don't expect it to shatter or break anytime soon, so it'll likely be around for some time and earn its way back.
