The invention relates to a mechanical device intended to be installed in a beehive, particularly in order to destroy Varroa mites and honey-bee tracheal mites. The device comprises a cleaning plate (1), a grating mesh (2), and a light-reflecting mirror surface (4). By using the mirror surface to reflect the light coming from the flight opening at an angle upwards, the bees are made to rush towards the mirror surface, in which case the protective grating mesh will detach the mites from the bees. The detached mites fall through the grating mesh onto the cleaning plate (1), which can be cleaned by pulling it out of the hive. The grating mesh (2) prevents the detached mites from reattaching themselves to the bees while strips acting as slide devices prevent the mites from moving from the cleaning plate back into reach of the bees. The invention also relates to a method for destroying parasites.
