    Would be a cool use for a cool animal, but the effect of pseudoscorpions was not signifiant in this article. Groups Untreated and with Chelifers having almost the same Varroa counts at the end. No effect in reduction of Varroa is the first conclusion of the article.

      Yes - they definitely feed on varroa but getting sufficient numbers in the hive for varroa control is the difficulty. I’m away of a trial underway in New Zealand but that’s about the extent of my knowledge.
