RNAi Against Varroa: Results from the Field – Hosted by Manitoba KRTP

Join us for a livestream featuring three 15-minute presentations from the U.S., New Zealand, and Canada on field trials of Norroa, a new treatment developed to control varroa mites. Norroa works by preventing mites from reproducing, helping keep mite levels low and reducing the damage and disease they cause in honey bee colonies. At the end of the webinar, Adam Pachl and Brian Manley from GreenLight Biosciences will be available to answer general questions about Norroa.
