In sustainable beekeeping, it is essential to regularly monitor the level of Varroa mite infestation in your colonies. Various methods are available, so choose the one that best suits your beekeeping needs. Here, we demonstrate alcohol washing, using a washing device. This method is simple, effective, and can be performed directly in the apiary.
