My name is Sarah Cross, I work for Plant & Food Research. We are currently running a project involving catching drones while they are on mating flights to see if they carry varroa and if this varroa load corresponds to the varroa rates within neighbouring hives. We are looking for apiary sites with a minimum of 20 hives, that haven't yet had varroa treatment (we need to find varroa to test), and that are preferably in Hamilton or the surrounding areas. Any help would be appreciated. Please email or ring sarah.cross@plantandfood.co.nz 027 637 6289
