Well known and used extensively in Europe. The hive entrance is sealed and
puffs from a smoker using a specially strong tobbacco are blown into the
entrance. This affects the Varroa and causes them to fall off. Obviously a
sticky board or some method of holding the dropped Varroa is a good idea.
Anyone want some (tobbacco) we have it in stock.
