CEBA is gearing up for the Spring Varroa counts in our club bee yard.

This is a "hands on training" to be performed by the students in the Apiary.

If you are not familiar with 4 Methods of Varroa Counting, then you should consider attending the Workshop. 

CEBA will demonstrate four methods of counting mites in a bee colony.


  1. Drone Cell Method
  2. Sugar Shake
  3. Sticky Board Count
  4. Alcohol Wash

It is very important to check your colonies in the Spring and the Fall.  CEBA publishes on the website the percentage infestation that recommends when to treat.  Do you see the two varroa in this picture?
