Everything We Thought We Knew About Tropilaelaps Was Wrong... #beekeeping

Now available for both android and iPhone users! My new coaching app is now live!!! Let me know what yall think! studio.com/beekeeping _________________________________________________________________________ What if one of the biggest assumptions we’ve made about Tropilaelaps is wrong? In this video, I break down a newly published study documenting an Apis dorsata swarm carrying Tropilaelaps mercedesae aboard a cargo ship bound for the Port of New Jersey, and explain why this discovery may change how researchers and beekeepers think about the risk of this devastating mite reaching North America. We also dive into another recent study showing how Tropilaelaps can spread through swarming, drifting, and robbing, discuss what these findings mean for commercial beekeeping, honey bee health, biosecurity, pollination, sentinel apiaries, port surveillance, and rapid response, and separate what the science actually shows from what we still don’t know. If you’re interested in beekeeping, Varroa, Tropilaelaps, honey bee research, USDA updates, invasive species, and the future of North American beekeeping, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss. Let me know your thoughts in the comments—do these new studies change how you think about the risk of Tropilaelaps? __________ Products made by yours truly: NEW this year..we are selling EARLY Spring queens from our favorite breeder!
