Just in time for fall mite assessment and treatment, the Honey Bee Health Coalition has published a free pdf book, "Tools for Varroa Management", which provides a comprehensive survey of assessment techniques and treatments. Each treatment is described in terms of how to apply, efficacy and advantages/disadvantages. If you have bees, you should have this pdf. It's written by the genuine experts in the field (Dr. Dewey Caron was the principle compiler) and it's free!

See the note below for more information or go directly <here> to request your copy.

Hello Bee Health Stakeholders,

 

I am pleased to announce that the Honey Bee Health Coalition has completed the first edition of Tools for Varroa Management, A Guide to Effective Sampling & Control. You registered to receive a copy of this guide, which you will find attached.

The guide lays out an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategy for managing Varroa mite infestations; including how to monitor mite levels, chemical and non-chemical methods to control the mites, and methods to determine which treatment is appropriate for a beekeeper to use at different phases in a colony’s life cycle.

 

We would appreciate your help in disseminating the Guide far and wide to all levels of beekeepers. Attached and below please find the press release. We hope your organization will use this in your print and online media and forward it on to your networks and listservs. The Guide is up on our webpage at http://honeybeehealthcoalition.org/Varroa.

  

Please feel free to contact Matt Mulica (cc'ed here) with any thoughts, ideas or questions. We are open to innovative and/or creative ways to get this Guide into the hands of your friends and colleagues.

Best,

Emily
