All Things Varroa Mite (re-post)
Manage episode 300319315 series 2790516
Hello from rainy Ohio!
This week, I am reposting one of my earliest episodes that covers all things Varroa Mite. I go over what this nasty little parasite is, how it transferred from the Asian honeybee (apis cerana) to our beloved European honeybee (apis mellifera), its method of transmission into the US; testing methods, and available treatments.
This topic is especially timely since those of us in the West are moving into Autumn, which is when varroa mite levels can start to climb. I hope this will act as a useful refresher on this nasty parasite for seasoned beekeepers, and a good introductory guide for first year beekeepers.
The original blog post for this episode can be found here.
The paper on oxalic acid effect on bee brood can be found here.
Thank you for listening!
