In the new ABJ Bayer corp. talks about a varroa control that is static electricity based that attaches itself to the bees and thus requires less of a treatment to kill the mites i hope they find a better solution for the better ;)
I read about this as well. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
could we just place a scrap piece of carpet on the landing board for them to scoot their little feet on :-D :-D
Instead of getting stung by a bee, we would get shocked by the bee.
Two words: dryer sheets. :-D

this stuff has been available in the UK for a while and is not received well from beekeepers
bayer bought them-wonder if they want the rights for bees or if they have other direction for this technology-
