Thanks to its patent pending design, the Varroa Block™ is able to dislodge varroa mites from the back and underside of bees on their way in and out of the hive, and keep the mites trapped and unable to enter the hive on their own.
Each component of the Varroa Block™ was meticulously designed for ease of use, durability and portability. A fully assembled Varroa Block™ is about the same overall dimensions as a standard entry reducer, making it a breeze to carry a few at a time to and from the bee yard, or simply thrown into your tool box.
