About the Webinar
Managing invasive alien species is a major challenge for beekeepers. Pest management takes up significant time and budget in beekeeping operations. And the changing environment and global interconnectedness are accelerating the
arrival of new invasive species in Europe. One example is the Tropilaelaps mites, originally found in Asia and parasites of Asian honey bees. Like Varroa mites, these smaller mites are emerging as a significant new threat to Western honey bee
(Apis mellifera L.) colonies and their keepers. To tackle this urgent issue, Apimondia Federation and BeeGuards are jointly hosting a webinar to raise awareness on the identification and management of Tropilaelaps mites and to provide an update on the geographic expansion in Europe. Scientists and experienced beekeepers will share their knowledge, shedding light on effective mitigation measures to limit the spread of these new mites.
