Varroa Expert Interview Series: Topic 4 - Breeding for varroa resistance

AgriFutures and Australian Honey Bee Industry Council (AHBIC) are unveiling a suite of Varroa focused resources. 

It’s the first Varroa communication 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! 

In this podcast episode we talk to BartJan Fernhout, Chairman of Arista Bee Research about breeding for varroa resistance.

Each week, we will be releasing another interview featuring global experts along with its accompanying podcast, factsheets and articles each addressing a different topic regarding varroa management  practices from around the world. 

Hosted on the Australian Honey Bee Industry Council (AHBIC) website, they will contribute to the sustainability of honey bee businesses and maintain our industry's reputation for clean, green Australian honey and advance our industry's resilience in the face of Varroa.
