Have received information about a Sardinian inventions called Varroa killer
sound.  The unit is put in the hive.  To quote from the information.

 

"The ideal frequency range to harm the varroa mites is between 14.000 and
15.000 Hz with 90 decibel.

In this range varroa-mites are extremely disturbed in food consumption, with
the result that adult mites die within 10-20 days. The acoustic noise works
in the brood, too. The juveniles (joung mites) are dying in the breeding
cell within one day. Adult mites in the brood are violated extremely and
reproduction is stopped at once.

Within 25 days the bee colony is healthy!"

Cost is USD92 plus shipping.
