Varroa mite has negative impact on
beekeeping.
Reduction of honey production.
Mortality of honey bee colonies.

The continuous use of miticides in
beekeeping:
Increase the costs of honey production.
Reduce the quality of honey.
Parasites develop resistance to chemicals.

Dispersal of AHB´s in the Americas due to
their high tendency to swarmswarm, migratemigrate and
abscondabscond could contribute to introduction
and dissemination of Varroa.
But….

and explains why AHB´s have become
