In this episode of The New England Buzz on Beekeeping, we dive into the essential practice of monitoring varroa mite infestations in honeybee colonies using the sugar roll method. Perfect for beginner beekeepers or seasoned apiarists looking for humane pest management techniques, we break down the step-by-step process of conducting a sugar roll. Learn why pure confectioners’ sugar (no additives!) is key, how to safely collect approximately 300 bees from the brood nest, and the best techniques for shaking those mites loose without harming your bees. We’ll also explore why the sugar roll is a gentler alternative to the alcohol wash, ensuring your colony stays strong while you keep mite levels in check. Tune in for practical tips, equipment recommendations, and expert insights to help you protect your hives from the threat of varroa mites. Whether you’re aiming for a 2-3% mite threshold or just want to understand your bees better, this episode is packed with sweet advice to keep your apiary thriving!
