Good suggestion for beekeeping classes. I'd travel a ways to learn how to
use
the screen insert and the gunk that falls underneath it to tell me what's
going on,

I think the use of sticky board are misunderstood. Special when it comes to
diagnostic!

Sticky board can be used to diagnostic the attach of Varroamites, but you
have to let it in for no more than three days, otherwise you will get all
the garbage too, that the bees normally carry out. Remember you have taken
that job away from the bees :-) When you diagnostic for varroa then use
oxalic acid to force the dropdown of mites.

visit my web on the following page to read more about using oxalic acid in
the fight of varroa.
