As a seasoned beekeeper, you understand the importance of keeping your bees healthy and thriving. At Buzzbee Beekeeping, we've developed a modern solution to help you monitor and manage varroa mite infestations in your beehives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDesigned specifically to be used in beehive ventilated floors, these varroa mite boards, also known as IPM boards or sticky boards, serve a multitude of purposes. Simply slide them underneath the screened bottom board of your hive, and you're ready to go. Counting varroa mites or debris is a breeze with the coloured checkerboard grid on these trays. The contrasting colours make it easy to keep track of your mite count, ensuring you stay on top of potential infestations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFor effective monitoring, you can in addition coat these thin boards with petroleum jelly to create a sticky surface. After 24 hours on the hive, the varroa mites will fall onto the board, making them easily countable. Say goodbye to cumbersome counting methods and hello to convenience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOur varroa mite boards are incredibly versatile. Not only can they be used for mite monitoring, but they can also be used during mite treatments or as a means to close off your hive during the winter months. No more worrying about cold air drafts or unwanted visitors disrupting your bees' environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThese boards are available in packs of four and come in sizes suitable for 8 frame and 10 frame beehives. The best part? They are fully customisable. The thin corrugated design allows for easy trimming, ensuring a perfect fit for any screened bottom board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDon't let varroa mite infestations hinder your beekeeping success.
