In the book ABC-XYZ of Bee Culture on page 315 it refers to using sodium
hydroxide for finding tracheal mites. Does any one know where I can buy
this in small amounts for my personal use? Also on page 316 it refers to
using a binocular microscope of 50 power as another method to view mites.
Do I have to use a binocular microscope or can I use a monocular
microscope? Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated as I am not a
scientist and never took biology in school. Oh the value of hindsight.
