Information from the 2021 Zoom Beginners course

There are some very good pdf's on the BeeBase website but I find it difficult to locate them at times so here is the link:
https://www.nationalbeeunit.com/index.cfm?pageid=167
The pathway is Public Pages >> Publications
The one that I was looking for, in particular, was the Managing Varroa booklet.
