101 viewsI have taken off the top box. I am looking at the drone comb that is made between the bottom of the one frame to the top of the next frame. I just tear it open when I lift off the hive body. Then I will take the larva and lok at them and look for varroa on them and in the cells. I found a total of three. Not to bad.
