Most definitely your honey will be contaminated, the best thing is to use it
as feed for the bees. It came from your bees and can be fed back without
problems. We feed honey most years, from cappings and drippings etc. In
passing we market a Varroa Test kit, it does not require Apistan or
chemistry and can be used with supers on without contaminating your honey.
We also market a Varroa trap, if you require more information please e-mail
me direct.
