Thanks to everyone who made it to our varroa management field event today! The weather could have been a lot better, but things turned out pretty well regardless. There were a few unable to attend due to Father’s Day. If you had to miss the event today, we’ll have another opportunity later in the year.

As promised, more information for the queen sequestration cage that was demonstrated today is available here:
Varroa Control Cage Instructions

The cages are available to purchase from a Seattle supplier: queen-sequestration-cage

Finally, a writeup by Dr Hopkins of WSU provides another overview of their use:
