Varroa
Dedicated Varroa resources for our Australian beekeeping community!
AgriFutures Australia and AHBIC are unveiling a suite of varroa–focused resources.
It’s the first activity that looks at how beekeepers can manage varroa and remain productive and profitable, and it’s all thanks to the AgriFutures Resilient Beekeeping in the Face of Varroa project.
We proudly bring beekeepers a series of Interviews and Factsheets covering a range of Varroa related topics!
AHBIC is also building Varroa specific content here on our webpage, so stay tuned for more.
