Varroa Easy Check

The Varroa Easy Check is a MUST HAVE piece of equipment to monitor varroa mite loads in a colony. Accurate mite washes have never been easier. With its unique perforated wash basket, varroa mites are easily removed from the bees and can be easily viewed and counted WITHOUT taking the basket out. The wash basket has 2 easy to read lines (top line 300, bottom line 200) to accurately calculate your bee sample.
