Hi, saw a queen today with a varroa mite right ontop of her thorax. She is a laying 2019 queen, unmarked and unclipped. I left her because I was short on time, but what's the best way to deal with this? Could I hold her on a marking cage/plunger and try to kill the mite with fine tweezers, or should I just try to vape the whole colony and hope for the best? They are obviously due a treatment anyway. I really don't want to lose this queen if possible and want to act ASAP.
Thanks
Thanks
