Keep Your Hive Healthy with Varroa Mite Boards
Varroa mite boards – also known as IPM boards, sticky boards, or slide-in trays – are an essential tool for every beekeeper. They make monitoring varroa levels quick and easy, helping you stay on top of your hive’s health.
Simply slide the board under your screened bottom board. While they won’t reduce mite numbers on their own, these boards give you a clear picture of the varroa population in your colony. Leave it in place for 24 hours, then count the mites that have naturally fallen off the bees – this helps you make informed varroa control decisions.
The checkerboard design is coloured to stand out against the brownish-red varroa mites, while the numbered grid keeps your counts organised and easy to track. Plus, during winter, the board can stay in place to reduce drafts at the back of the hive, helping your bees maintain a cosy cluster temperature.
Simple. Effective. Essential. Keep your hives healthy and varroa under control with these easy-to-use boards.
