Varroa Infection Detection in Honeybee Colonies and Chemical Control Method Against Varroa

Munire Turhan (Author)

Release Date: 2024-05-28

Varroa, whose only breeding and reproduction place is the honey bee colony, multiplies rapidly if the necessary precautions are not taken, causing either the productivity of the colonies to decrease and their extinction in advanced stages, or weakening the colony individuals and making them more susceptible to other diseases.
