Collection: Varroa Mite Control

Varroa mite (Varroa destructor) is a parasitic mite that feeds on honeybees and spreads harmful viruses, weakening colonies over time. As a recent threat in Australia, early detection and management are crucial to preventing widespread infestations. Beekeepers can monitor for Varroa using sticky boards, alcohol washes, or sugar shakes and reduce populations through drone brood removal and approved treatments.

Varroa mite treatments are expected to arrive early-May
