Last week during bee hive inspection a few honeybees were spotted with the tell tail sign they had a bit of varroa mite. Only a very few worker bees had the deformed wings but there was not much visual of the mite itself. So ground up cane sugar ground down to a powder, then sprinkled between the sections I was told might well solve our slight varroa problem. Varroa mite weaken honeybees immunity so they become susceptible to all sorts. 
Here you can see me open up the hives for a sprinkle of powdered cane  sugar. Fingers crossed this works.
