Description

One reusable Varroa mite test kit for both Sugar Shake and Alcohol Wash testing.

Monitor Varroa mite pressure with the testing method that suits your hive-management routine. This practical, reusable kit gives Australian hobbyist and commercial beekeepers the flexibility to carry out a non-lethal Sugar Shake (Sugar Roll) test or an Alcohol Wash test—without purchasing separate equipment.

Why choose this dual-method Varroa test kit?

  • Two testing methods, one kit: suitable for Sugar Shake and Alcohol Wash testing
  • Flexible monitoring: choose the method that best fits your inspection and record-keeping routine
  • Reusable and easy to clean: durable plastic components for regular hive checks
  • Built for Australian beekeepers: useful for hobby apiaries, larger operations and multi-hive monitoring
  • Pack options available: choose 1, 2, 3, 5 or 10 kits for your apiary needs

Choose your preferred testing method

Sugar Shake (Sugar Roll): a non-lethal sampling option for beekeepers who want to return sampled bees to the colony.

Alcohol Wash: an alternative method for obtaining a mite count from a bee sample. Always follow current Australian biosecurity guidance and your local requirements.

Designed for routine Varroa monitoring

Regular testing helps you track results over time, compare colony health and make informed hive-management decisions. For the most useful records, note the date, hive identification, test method and mite count each time you monitor.

Important note

This is a monitoring tool, not a Varroa treatment. If follow-up action is needed, explore our Varroa mite treatments and always follow the approved product label or permit conditions.

Only a few dollars more than a basic sugar-shake-only kit—while giving you the flexibility to monitor with either method.
