My first varroa destructor sighting, I took catchment tray out from below mesh floor to see what I could find after 10 days activity, apparently if you have less than 1-2 average per day things are ok ish, well I searched on my hands and knees with help of reading glasses and I only found one, so I guess things are ok, but better safe than sorry will try dusting with icing sugar next time I open hive.
