Exploitation of results
  • The Varroa mite is the major problem of apiculture worldwide.
  • 14,000,000 bee colonies in the EU, all with ‘Varroa problems’.
  • There is no product for the sustainable treatment of Varroa during the bee breeding season until now.

 ⇒ Very good possibilities for economic utilisation of results.
⇒ New dynamic for research and development of biological Varroa-control methods.
