Varroa mites are a problem for honey bees.  I had not thought of this technique until a gentleman at the package pick up place showed it to anyone that was interested.  I decided to give my bees a treatment with the powdered sugar, but didn't see many mites fall out when I put paper under them.  Hopefully that is because my bees were nice and clean!
