Ann Zudekoff, PBA Club Educator will be presented a presentation on Varroa Mites called, “You know you’ve got them, so what can you do about them?” This is the time of year to start (or be finished) extracting spring honey, doing mite counts and treatments if necessary, or consider making splits. Varroa mites testing and treating is one of the top priority of beekeepers to maintain healthy colonies and help ensure our bees are healthy enough to make it into and through winter.
