Thank you for sharing your research and system. Is there an English interpretation of your process? It's the combination of high humidity as well as heat that kills the varroa under the caps? However, you remove the bees and just treat the brood comb? In this way, you've stopped mite reproduction under the brood caps, and what about phoretic mites on the bees themselves? VERY interesting system.

-> The correct humidity is important to prevent the bee brood not to run dry during the treatment. The heat kills the mites - heat shock proteins are formed by the heat, leading to permanent cell damage causing the death of the mite. -> In spring for example about 80% of the mites are in the brood, so the treatment is quite effective, in autumn there are more mites attached to the adult bees, but 60% of the mites are still in the brood. -> Here you will find information in English: www.varroa-controller.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Handbook-of-heat-treatment-against-the-Varroa.pdf Greetings from Austria

Is there a possibility to work the Varroa-controller in the field on a battery?
