Good Afternoon Members,

As we mentioned, "And Now For the Rest of the Story".  Please read the report in the link below.

https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.05.28.656706v1

See the following Press Release from the USDA/EPA at: https://www.ars.usda.gov/news-events/news/research-news/2025/usda-researchers-find-viruses-from-miticide-resistant-parasitic-mites-are-cause-of-recent-honey-bee-colony-collapses/

We'd like to thank all the researchers at USDA/ARS. Thanks,
ABF Officers
Patty Sundberg, President
Debbie Seib, Vice-President
Dan Winter, Past President

It’s been long known that varroa mites have been developing resistance to Amitraz. I’m really surprised that large operators were still using it. 

2nd thing to consider from the report is, how many packages/nucs of bees sold in Wisconsin (and other states) are carrying diseases and spreading them across the country?
