Understanding the Impacts of Varroa Parasitism

This is the recording of the first virtual lecture in our "Understanding Varroa Mites" series!

Title: Understanding the Impacts of Varroa Mite Parasitism
Description: In order to fight Varroa mites, it’s important to understand them. Beekeepers know that Varroa mites can devastate colonies. However, the mechanisms of this destruction can seem a little murky. This talk will provide a nuanced exploration of the multi-faceted impacts of Varroa parasitism at the individual and colony level, as well as the relationship between Varroa mites and honey bee viruses.
