Throughout the summer I've been diligently checking varroa drop and not yet found any. I'm aware that it is a rare colony that has no varroa, so I was concerned that my eyesight wasn't up to finding them, even with glasses and a magnyfying glass (not even managed to spot eggs thus far, though I'm a bit better with larvae).
However this weekend, two weeks into Apilif Var treatment, I found half a dozen of the little bleeders on one of my bright yellow Thornes tray (also by the way a handy home for earwigs)
Probably the last time I'll be pleased to see them mind.
