Varroa: The parasite that kills bees and how to fight it

The Varroa Destructor is a microscopic mite that attacks honeybees. This parasite is native to Asia and has spread worldwide, becoming one of the main threats to the health of bee colonies. Varroa weakens bees and makes them vulnerable to diseases, which can lead to the death of the colony.

How Varroa Affects Bees

Varroa attaches to the bodies of bees and feeds on their hemolymph (bee blood). This weakens the bees and makes them more susceptible to diseases. Varroa can also transmit viruses to bees, further worsening their health.

Symptoms of Varroa Infestation

Symptoms of Varroa infestation may include:

  • Weak and Deformed Bees: Bees infested with Varroa may be weakened and have deformed wings.
  • Reduced Bee Population in the Colony: A colony infested with Varroa will have a lower bee population than normal.
  • Presence of Varroa Mites on Bees: Varroa mites are small red mites that can be observed on the bodies of bees, especially on the thorax and abdomen.
  • Uncapped Brood: Varroa can attack bee larvae, resulting in uncapped brood (eggs and larvae not covered by a thin layer of wax).
  • Black Spots on Bee Wings: Bees infested with Varroa may have black spots on their wings.

If you notice any of these symptoms, it's important to inspect your hive more thoroughly for signs of Varroa infestation.

Tips for Inspecting Your Hive:

  • Gently remove frames from the hive and examine them carefully.
  • Look for Varroa mites on the bodies of bees, as well as on the brood.
  • You can also use a Varroa tray to detect mites that fall from the bees.

If you confirm the presence of Varroa in your hive, it's important to take steps to treat the infestation.

How to Combat Varroa

There are several methods to combat Varroa:

  • Chemical Treatments: There are chemical products available to kill Varroa. These products should be used with caution as they can also be toxic to bees.
  • Biological Treatments: There are also biological treatments available to combat Varroa. These treatments use natural enemies of Varroa, such as predatory mites.
  • Cultural Techniques: There are also cultural techniques that beekeepers can use to reduce the impact of Varroa. These techniques include using smaller brood cells and removing drones.
