Maybe useful for Australia, sadly not the UK where except for tiny areas it is in every colony.
Maybe in the future if we develop a means of eradication.

Therein lies the problem. Varroa IS in UK hives so pretty pointless using hi tech electronics to discover them. Even if a beekeeper spends n squared UK pounds on the kit current treatments are not 100% effective and the infestation is at best simply reduced.
