Véto-pharma , a french company, developed "Varroa EasyCheck" in 2016. The VEC, as we often call it, gives you a quick, easy, and reliable count of your varroa mites. This robust tool with an excellent price-quality ratio, will become your best friend when it comes to mite monitoring!
This method consists of immersing a sample of bees into alcohol and then gently shaking the EasyCheck to detach the phoretic mites so they can be counted. This method leads to the loss of the sample, but it is the most consistent in terms of delivering accurate results. It has been recognized as the most accurate, reliable, and economical option for beekeepers.
