Supporting Honeybee Health: Fight The Mite Research Project

Supporting Honeybee Health: Fight The Mite Research Project Learn about the "fight the mite" campaign supporting dr. samuel ramsey's groundbreaking work on parasitic mites, including the emerging tropilaelaps mite. New university of alberta research could help in the fight against the honeybee’s number one enemy – the varroa mite. also known as the varroa destructor, the parasite is a major contributor to annual losses of 30 to 40 per cent of bee colonies in canada.

Washington, june 2, 2025 – scientists at the u.s. department of agriculture’s agricultural research service (usda ars) are helping american beekeepers solve the mystery behind a widespread honey bee colony collapse and its debilitating effects on u.s. agriculture. At project apis m., our research is driven by impact. we fund and direct research that addresses the real world challenges facing honey bees and beekeepers—developing practical tools, solutions, and strategies that can be put to use in the field. Samuel ramsey is organizing this fundraiser. the fight the mite initiative! tropi mites are destroying apis mellifera colonies in asia, the middle east, and oceania and they're continuing to spread.

The honey bee health coalition continues to support innovation in honey bee health, including research, tool development, and education aimed at helping beekeepers and farmers manage evolving threats. In this project, signficant progress was made towards breeding for resistance to varroa mites in honey bees and getting beekeepers to adopt northern bred mite tolerant stocks. A new breed of honey bees provides a major advance in the global fight against the parasitic varroa mite, new research shows. Several researches from the vrtt are leading the project receiving the usda grant. the project aims to develop and deploy novel tools to support varroa mite integrated pest management for enhancing honey bee health for pollinating specialty crops.
