Greetings from USA.
I use the sugar test only on a sample of bees. I then chemical treat if it shows a good(bad) sample of veroa.
Your bees look very healthy!!

Interesting to see some anti varoa methodes without using chemicals. I am a dutch beekeeper started last year.

yes, it's powdered sugar. you powder the bees with sugar and they start to groom themselves-they like to be nice and tidy, also varoa losses tuch with surface-the bees due to the "flour" layer.

Brilliant Simon I will be trying this next year and showing your video to my beekeeping friends. Are you very brave or do you not get stung at all. What is the polythene sheet for?
Vielen dank aus Engeland.

Mike, I am not sure, if this method is brilliant. You can´t save a strong invested hive with sugar! Sugar treatment is only for testing purpose - don´t rely on it.
The bees in this video are surprisingly calm, I selected them this year for breeding.
You can easily monitor the vr-mites on the white polyethylene board.

when do you use this methode? do you use other technics to reduce varroa?

I have done this only once - for testing purpose.
It is good enoug to thin out the mites, but this method works not good enough to secure growth of healthy winter bees. Its labor intensiv and disturbs the bees.
