PREPARING FOR VARROA

We assist our members to prepare for varroa by

  • Communicating advice from Australian authorities about how to best deal with varroa.
  • Liaising with beekeepers in the US and New Zealand who have successfully dealt with varroa over many years.
  • Conducting interactive Zoom meetings with these beekeepers. 
  • Conducting in-person meetings to learn from experienced Australian beekeepers about how they plan to deal with varroa.
  • Providing an extensive library of YouTube presentations about beekeeping practices, including how to deal with varroa.
  • Promoting continuous testing for varroa, including the use of drone frames.
  • Demonstrating varroa-relevant practical activities at hives.
  • Encouraging re-queening using queens from hygienic lines of bees.
