A hair product for bees. Not to kill the varoa mite but rather make it impossible to cling on.
I am sure, in our own large database of hair products, there would be something that is neutral to bees and makes the bee hair environment impossible to 'the mite'.
Maybe the Teddy culture quiff will
bring out the switchblade attitude and those homeless suckers will get what's due.
disclaimer - previous sentence should only be taken in respect to context used.

Some kind of silicone might do the trick. |

Or how about making a tiny bee-wash - similar to a car wash, but quite a lot smaller. Each bee passes through the bee-wash on its way into the hive, whereupon it is washed, combed and dried before joining its friends. |

I thought this was going to be like teddy bears, but bees.
You know, to raise awareness among the children of the
bees' plights. I would have bunned that. |

A bee-wash would likely change the scent of the bees. You
do know social insects like ants and bees use scent to
identify other members of the colony, and recognize
invaders? |

Rumor is that the Varroa mites are going set up mosh pits in order to get themselves stickier. |

Not to take back to the hive, but to share with other
flowers. If this hair product keeps the pollen from sticking,
it will defeat one of the main purposes of bees, namely
helping flowers reproduce. |

actually there could be a tetris shaped polysilane (polysilanes are frequently found at shampoos) that leaves pollen sized spaces yet is glossy to mites. i think this is just barely possible. think a coasting of marbles, the pollen gets the areas in between, the mites slip off a plurality of spherical surfaces. |
