Varroa project mite counts

We now have participants for Count 1 from all counties except:  Dublin, Wicklow,  Kilkenny, Longford, Roscommon, Cavan & Fermanagh
It would be great to get data on Varroa from all 32 counties.
Can you help by encouraging a beekeeper from the missing counties to participate in the NIHBS/NUIG Varroa Tolerance Breeding Programme.
This is also a good opportunity to get some of your bees DNA tested.
