Somebody posted some weeks ago that they had found a decent sugar roll kit. Maybe it did alcohol wash as well?
I’m looking for a beginner.
Can anybody recall?
Thanks

Me ... I bought one of these:

Tried it out last week ... works exactly like in the video with icing sugar - not sure it would work with an alcohol wash though because of the way it is made and works.

Just a jam jar with a lid will do if you are going to do an alcohol wash - kills the bees, separates the mites - tip the lot out onto a sheet of paper ... count the bees - count the mites. Job done.
