There was an bee hive invented by some clever Aussies which used electronics at the hive entrance to detect varroa as each bee returned to the hive. Infected bees where detected, sorted, bared from entry and isolated (maybe euthanised I can’t remember). Whatever happened? Costs? It might be cheaper to ‘spray’ but history tells us sprays have unintended consequences down the line… if memory serves, I might have seen something about these tech hives on the ABC.
