Qualirey Varroa Mite Detection Jar Clear + 150ml Cup — Leak‑Proof with Internal Filter Basket

The Qualirey Varroa Mite Detection Jar plus leak-proof measuring cup is a compact kit that lets beekeepers perform alcohol wash, powdered sugar roll, or CO2 tests and quickly count fallen mites.

Small but purpose-built, this two-piece set combines a clear detection jar with an internal filter basket and a 150 ml measuring cup so you can carry out standard varroa monitoring wherever your apiary is. The plastic locking clip and snap-fit components are designed to reduce mess and prevent spills while the basket helps separate mites from debris so counts are faster and clearer.

How does this kit make mite checks faster and cleaner?

The internal basket catches wax and beeswax fragments while allowing mites to fall to the jar base, so you deal with fewer distractions when counting. The snap-lock closure minimizes leakage during vigorous shaking, and the transparent body gives an unobstructed view of collected mites.

• Built-in filter basket keeps debris out of the counting area.
• Transparent jar shows mite accumulations without opening the lid.
• Plastic locking clip prevents spills during alcohol or sugar shakes.
• Compact dimensions make field handling and transport easier.

Which monitoring methods can I use with the Qualirey set?

This kit supports three common monitoring approaches: alcohol wash, powdered sugar roll, and CO2 knockdown. Each method uses the same jar and basket assembly so you can pick the procedure that matches your management style and seasonal goals.

• Alcohol wash: effective for freeing mites from bees for counting.
• Powdered sugar roll: a non-destructive option that dislodges mites.
• CO2 method: a chemical-free alternative when available and appropriate.
• One jar fits all methods—no need for multiple specialized tools.

What measurements and materials should I expect?

The set is molded from durable plastic and comes in clear and white finishes to help visibility and contrast when counting. The jar measures about 11 x 13.5 cm and the measuring cup holds approximately 150 ml, suitable for standard test volumes used by hobby and small-scale beekeepers.

• Jar dimensions: ~11 x 13.5 cm for stable shaking and viewing.
• Measuring cup: ~8 x 6.8 cm, capacity ~5.1 oz / 150 ml.
• Plastic construction: lightweight and easy to clean.
• Designed for portability and compact storage in a beekeeping kit.

Who is this for: Beekeepers who want a simple, transportable, and leak-resistant tool to monitor Varroa levels. This kit suits hobbyists, classroom demonstrations, and small-scale apiaries that need a reliable way to compare alcohol wash, sugar roll, or CO2 results without extra equipment. It’s intended for routine surveillance and record-keeping; follow accepted thresholds and treatment guidance from your local beekeeping authority when interpreting counts.
