Bee class @ BeaverIsland
I was invited (the 3rd time) by Dr. Tracy (Oakland Univ) to help her teach some parts of the bee course. We usually do a comparison for two tests: sugar dusting vs. using soapy water to estimate the number of mite levels in a colony. Photos are some of the major steps for that. Besides beekeeping tools, you need: Mason jars with a screen lid, powered sugar, a pan, a piece of white paper (large!), a measuring cup (1/2 cup).
