The lengths that some people will go to to avoid their new obligations under the The Bee Diseases and Pests Control (England) (Amendment) Order 2021 to report the presence of varroa are incredible. Literally incredible
In my natural mite drop test, which I completed last weekend, the lowest number of mites I found was 29 varroa over 50 days (0.58 mites/day). I will be recording positive varroa infestation as, I am sure, most of you will too.
This is a "Bond" test (with no treatment).
