The first 3-in-1 Varroa monitoring tool!

Varroa EasyCheck is a practical tool for easy Varroa infestation monitoring

on adult bees.

Alcohol wash, sugar roll, CO2 injection. These 3 methods are now available in

the same tool. It's up to you to choose the method that suits you best!

Alcohol Wash

* Alcohol wash consists of immersing a sample of bees into alcohol and then

gently shaking the EasyCheck to detach the phoretic mites so they can be counted

* Advantages: Fast and easy, it is recognized as the most accurate, reliable,

and economical option for beekeepers

* Alcohol Method videoIcing Sugar Roll

* With this method, the bees are rolled with powdered sugar, causing the

mites to separate from the bees

* The EasyCheck is then gently shaken, causing the sugar and the mites to

pass through the white basket's holes

* Advantages: Inexpensive and keep the sample of bees alive

* Sugar Roll Method videoCO2 Injection

* The CO2 method, bees, and mites are rendered unconscious by exposure to

carbon dioxide gas

* The sample of anesthetized bees is then gently shaken in the EasyCheck,

causing the mites to fall from the bees

* Advantages: Fast and keep the sample of bees alive. Research conducted in

Europe indicated results similar in accuracy to alcohol wash

* CO2 Injection Method videoSample Size

* There are two lines on the white basket of the Varroa EasyCheck

* Lower line corresponds to about 200 bees and the upper line corresponds to

300 bees

* We advise you to take 300 bees to obtain the most accurate results possible

* In the case of weaker colonies, you can reduce this number to 200 bees

* You will obtain your infestation percentage by dividing the number of

varroa found by 2 (if 200 bees) or 3 (if 300 bees)Example: If you find 5 varroa

mites with 300 bees, you have an infestation percentage of 5/3 = 1.66%

Number of mites = % Varroa infe...
