During the Organic Honey Bee Colony Management workshop, participants will be engaged in hands-on learning through classroom and field experiences. We will get up close and personal with parasitic mites, cultural and chemical control methods, measuring mite resistance traits, and implementing these things into an organic colony management system.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
- Those wanting to learn about organic colony management
- Participants of the Organic Honey Bee Colony Management Series
WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?
- Varroa mite anatomy, life cycle, and impacts
- Cultural controls for varroa mites and why they work
