While looking for honey bee related news I stumbled upon an ad for a sonic varroa killer. If something like that actually worked it could be a partial solution to the varroa problem. So I did a little reading on the product and also feedback on some bee blogs.
First I read reviews of similar sonic products used against moles, ants and roaches. It was hard to find positive feedback, but negative feedback was readily found.
I found no positive feedback on the varroa sonic device on the web. If there was positive experiences you could expect the web to be full of information. These devices have also not been advertised in any of the bee magazines. Also it appears you would need to buy more than one device because it must remain in the hive for 40 days.
If it really worked I'm sure the bee journals would have by now published detailed scientific reports with positive data. To date I've seen none. So my recommendation is to save your money and not buy this product.
