We assist our members to prepare for and manage varroa by

• Communicating advice from Australian authorities about how to best deal with varroa.
• Liaising with beekeepers in the US, Canada and New Zealand who have successfully dealt with varroa over many years.
• Conducting interactive Zoom meetings with these beekeepers to understand how they monitor and supress varroa numbers. 
• Conducting in-person meetings to learn from experienced Australian beekeepers about how they deal with or 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 and for Victorian beekeepers reporting test results on Agricultural Victoria's  BeeMAX portal.
• Demonstrating and training of varroa-relevant practical activities at hives.
• Encouraging re-queening using queens from hygienic lines of bees.
• Encouraging the use of drone frames and similar techniques to increase the amount of drone comb in a hive in order to more easily identify the presence of varroa in a hive by drone uncapping.
• Encouraging the use of robbing screens to restrict the entry of foreign drones to a hive.
• Supporting the Australian Honey Bee Industry Council (AHBIC) by contributing to its "Friends of AHBIC" program.
