Julieta Merke says in her interview "treatment is advised in the fall to avoid  hives losses during the winter"

The bees have been suffering for years the varroa depopulation syndrome or the hive, these diseases destroy the hives and the important work carried out by  pollination. In La Palma, a group of beekeepers breeding with a U.S. brought that makes them immune to these diseases, with very good results. Stephan Braun is a beekeeper and says they have bees that resist disease without treatment. This beekeeper says that many hives of other beekeepers on the island have suffered and gone. Stephan demand more support from the institutions to extend their practice across the archipelago.

Video of the Day of Beekeeping developed in the school of agriculture in Villaviciosa, Asturias

Methodology used only for months that the hives can be opened for sampling.

Watch on  this video a method to remove varroa from the litter tray without danger mark and then classify those that are biting, grooming

In 2009 a parasite varroa struck Bermuda hives and we may have lost more than half of our bee population. Added to that, poor farming practices are also negatively impacting the bees.  The bee population is thought to have improved some since 2009. With varroa Bermuda we lost 50 to 60 percent of our bees, we have improved it  now by about 20 percent.”

Destined to beekeepers will be held on Wednesday 3 August at 07.30 pm  in the salíon meeting of the Regional Development Association (Gral López-reconquest 744). Speak on the topic \ "Varroa control strategies with organic acaricides \" Dr. Natalia Bulacio (Inta  Rafaela).

Patented technology combines mite biology with simple physics in order to treat one of the most serious threats to honeybees and agriculture around the world; Varroa Mite Infestation.

Five years ago Jeff Harris with the USDA-ARS narrates this interesting video, but that does not get old, due to  the quality of the information provided

The varroa  bee mite has developed resistance to the chemicals used to kill it and is passing that resistance to beehives through the country, with bee experts saying, unless beekeepers change the type and frequency of the chemicals they use to combat the disease, it will have catastrophic consequences. The mite first reached New Zealand in 2000 and the bee industry, which is worth about $60 million, spends about $16m each year fighting varroa.
