Hello all,

Has anyone experimented on temperature control for varroa?
The reason I ask is that my hives that are situated in a
shady area are attacked by varroa much more than the ones
that are exposed to the sun whole day. Would increasing the
hive temperature a point or two would trigger a mite drop?
And increasing it once every week for several hrs. would
control the mite population.  Just wondering.
