John and Nathalie take a jaunt across the pond to talk with Steve Riley and discuss his new book “The Honey Bee Solution to Varroa.” Steve, along with the Westerham Beekeepers in the UK, have done a lot of research into how Varroa was affecting their bees, and how the bees responded when they were not treated. They have combined their observations along with research from respected sources all over the world to come up with a more comprehensive overview of the traits that better indicate when bees truly are displaying varroa sensitive hygienic behaviors. This information could greatly improve your own beekeeping and quest for better genetic qualities in our own bees. Tune in now to learn more…
