Hi all
 
 
Here's a unique idea - rotating brood frames for varroa control.   The 
concpet is that varroa mites like to lay in the upper part of cells,  but if the 
cells keep changing position, the mite has no way to orient.
 
Apparently, this has been around for some time, out of Hungary.  If  you 
Google Konya hive under images, you will see pictures of the wooden protoype  
from around 2001.  There's now a company selling these in a plastic  
version, complete with motor-drive that is solar-powered.

Don't know if it works, but its a fun hive.
