Fuente: WIPO "varroa" A hive arrangement for varroa mite control comprises a brood box and a base, with a drawer cabinet stacked therebetween. The cabinet defines a side opening housing a removable drawer that includes a vertically open frame defining a vertical entrance passageway through which bees pass during hive ingress and egress. One or more strips of artificial drone comb are mounted within the frame and positioned to intercept varroa mites prior to their entry into the brood box. The drawer is accessible from outside the hive, allowing for non-intrusive replacement or cleaning. The system may include pheromone-treated combs to enhance mite attraction and support passive, chemical-free management of infestation levels.
