Potential new varroa control ???

[backyard warrior]

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-
