I earlier mentioned a newly approved method of varroa
control via a fungus infection of the mites. Below is
a link to a web page advertising for manufacturers of
the fungus. Don't know if it is a type of magic
bullet for us, but seems like it would be hard for the
mites to develop a resistance to it. My understanding
is that the fungus attacks the carapace of the mite,
breaking its integrity and allowing the mite to
desicate.
