Some Don't Like It Hot
Nottingham University is currently researching an alternative approach to Varroa control, using heat packs similar to hand-warmers.
The nature of the treatment means that Varroa are unable to develop a resistance to it, plus it is very low cost (the estimated cost of each BeeSave pack is £10 and can be used over 100 times).
