VARROA MITE EASY CHECK
MANN LAKE VARROA EASY CHECK
The first 3-in-1 Varroa monitoring tool!
Varroa EasyCheck is a practical tool for easy Varroa infestation monitoring on adult bees.
Alcohol wash or sugar roll. These methods are now available in the same tool. It's up to you to choose the method that suits you best!
Alcohol Wash

Alcohol Method video
Icing Sugar Roll
With this method, the bees are rolled with powdered sugar, causing the mites to separate from the bees
The EasyCheck is then gently shaken, causing the sugar and the mites to pass through the white basket's holes
Advantages: Inexpensive and keep the sample of bees alive
Sugar Roll Method video
Sample Size
There are two lines on the white basket of the Varroa EasyCheck
Lower line corresponds to about 200 bees and the upper line corresponds to 300 bees
We advise you to take 300 bees to obtain the most accurate results possible
In the case of weaker colonies, you can reduce this number to 200 bees
You will obtain your infestation percentage by dividing the number of varroa found by 2 (if 200 bees) or 3 (if 300 bees)
Example: If you find 5 varroa mites with 300 bees, you have an infestation percentage of 5/3 = 1.66%
Number of mites = % Varroa infestation
3 for 300 bees
2 for 200 bees
(adjust according to sample size)
Features
Designed for effectiveness: The filter basket is the key to EasyCheck's reliability
Quick and easy to use 3 easy steps
Easily transportable and built to last
Tight-fitting lid is leak-free and comfortable to use
Two molded guidelines allow for samples of 200 or 300 bees
Designed for effectiveness: Fallen mites pass through holes in the base and sides of the basket
Transparent bowl allows accurate counting and reliable sampling
Depending on location and the time of year, alert thresholds range from > 1% to 5%. Check with your local association to determine thresholds in your area.
