How to Help Honey Bees: Participate in the First Ever Mite-A-Thon
September 5, 2017

A single Varroa mite infestation can quickly spread and devastate hives across an entire region. Early detection and control are key to supporting honey bee health and preventing catastrophic infestations. That’s why the Honey Bee Health Coalition, which has developed essential Varroa mite resources, is proud to support the first ever Mite-A-Thon.
The Coalition urges beekeepers to participate in this exciting and free event by visiting www.pollinator.org/miteathon.
The event, which will take place from Saturday, September 9, to Saturday, September 16, will help collect vital data on Varroa infestations across North America and help beekeepers and others confront these problematic parasites.
