We Hive The Solution

A common problem in modern beekeeping is the presence of the dreaded varroa mite.

Varroa mites are an external parasitic mite that attacks honey bees around the UK; such attacks can cause a disease known as varroatosis. They can only thrive in a honey bee colony and, if unchecked, can spell the end of a hive.

The solution is simple - a woven wire mesh flooring. As the mites fall off their bee hosts they will fall through the mesh. This will prevent them from crawling back up to the bees (as they would be able to with a wooden floor). Up to 60% of mites could be removed from the hive with this simple approach.

Mesh also provides essential ventilation for the colony.

Many beekeepers around the country are using this mesh to rid themselves of the unwelcome varroa mite.
