Tools for Varroa Management

Guide from the Honey Bee Health Coalition

Greg Fariss, regional Apiary Inspector for Ashe County provided the below link with useful information on the control of Varroa mites.

In the guide, it is recommended that all beekeepers remain vigilant to detect high Varroa mite levels and be prepared to take timely action in order to reduce mite loads. Effective mite control will reduce colony losses and avoid potential spread of infectious disease among colonies.
