Having read the instructions...  carefully, the author writing the
instructions is in fact talking about Varroa, not Trachael mites.
        The first line quotes "for the combat against Varroa mites of bees"
further in the statement is made "An acaricide effect of aprox. 90% was
achieved in sealed brood cells". Nothing about T-mites.
        Instructions are only as good as the person reading them.
I would point out, there is patent protection on this unit. German Pat No.
