Dear friends
I just want to draw your attention to the American Bee Journal
November issue, News Notes. Varroa was discovered for the first time
in St. Kitts and Nevis which is one of the Caribbean countries, with
the help of the New Invention (Varroa detector) that we discussed
during Sept and October this year. The mites are of the Java haplotype
of Varroa jacobsoni and the infestation level were only 4% in samples
of 42 bees (average).
