The Bee Squad has made it easier for beekeepers to monitor varroa mite levels in their honey bee colonies. Everything you need to perform a powdered sugar roll test is in one convenient tub!

THIS KIT INCLUDES:

• a tub for collecting the bee sample and for displaying mites at the final mite count
• a scoop with a 100ml mark to measure 300 bees (standard sample size)
• a jar with a mesh screen for separating the bees from the mites
• 1lb of powdered sugar for the test
• a bottle for water to dissolve the sugar in order to see the mites clearly
• a brochure with instructions

Proceeds from the sales of the Varroa Mite Testing Kit will be used to fund MiteCheck, a beekeeper citizen science project.

Orders of 10 or more kits must be arranged directly with the Bee Squad Office. You can reach them by phone at 612-624-8989 or via email at beesquad@umn.edu.
