Since varroa cling to the outside of bees, could a "carwash" be devised to
strip the bees of varroa? The entire colony could be made to pass through
this gauntlet thereby removing all mites from the bee's bodies. The bees
would be placed in a new mite-free home and their old home recycled once the
varroa in it died.
