☮ ♥ ♬ 🧑‍💻HoneyWent and picked honey last week from my supplier, a bio security Officer for Varroa (Varroa development officer). The jar on the right is what I normally get, ‘cause honey. 🍯🐝Not now. I can only get the middle and left size. Why?The impact of <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/VarroaMite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VarroaMite</a> on local hives. The example he gave was from our OS SE Island neighbours where the number of hives went 2000 to 8. This is the future of bees in Victoria. <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/AgVic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AgVic</a> <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/Ag" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ag</a> / <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/Victoria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Victoria</a> / <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/Varroa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Varroa</a> / <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/BeeMAX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BeeMAX</a> / <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/BioSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BioSecurity</a> / <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/agriculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#agriculture</a> <<a href="https://agriculture.vic.gov.au/biosecurity/pest-insects-and-mites/priority-pest-insects-and-mites/varroa-mite-of-honey-bees/varroa-mite-current-situation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://agriculture.vic.gov.au/biosecurity/pest-insects-and-mites/priority-pest-insects-and-mites/varroa-mite-of-honey-bees/varroa-mite-current-situation</a>> / <<a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varroa" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varroa</a>>

Albert Cardona<a href="https://ecoevo.social/@entsocamerica" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@entsocamerica</a> Interesting:"Varroa mites originally evolved to parasitize Apis cerana, the honey bee species native to Asia, and only affected drones of that species. When Varroa mites infect worker brood in Asian bees, the larva dies and the Varroa mite can’t reproduce.""As they adapted to the honey bees (Apis mellifera) common in Europe and North America, however, Varroa mites became able to parasitize drone, queen, or worker bees. However, there is a still a large preference for drone brood. Varroa mites are often 5–10 times more abundant in drone brood cells than worker or queen cells. Since drones take longer to mature into adults and the drone brood are bigger, the Varroa mites can produce more offspring in these cells. By removing excess drone brood, a beekeeper can eliminate a large portion of their Varroa mite population."<a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/honeybees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#honeybees</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Varroa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Varroa</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/mites" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mites</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/BeeKeeping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BeeKeeping</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Hymenoptera" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hymenoptera</a>

RaymondPierreL3<a href="https://rssfeed.media/@abcfeeds" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@abcfeeds</a> There was an bee hive invented by some clever Aussies which used electronics at the hive entrance to detect varroa as each bee returned to the hive. Infected bees where detected, sorted, bared from entry and isolated (maybe euthanised I can’t remember). Whatever happened? Costs? It might be cheaper to ‘spray’ but history tells us sprays have unintended consequences down the line… if memory serves, I might have seen something about these tech hives on the ABC. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Varroa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Varroa</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/HighTechHives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HighTechHives</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/AustralianInventors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AustralianInventors</a>
