Varroa mites are tiny parasitic pests that primarily affect honeybees. They attach themselves to bees and feed on their bodily fluids, weakening the bees and spreading diseases. These mites can reproduce quickly, leading to large infestations that threaten bee colonies. The presence of Varroa mites is a significant concern for beekeepers and the agricultural industry, as they can lead to the decline of bee populations. Effective management strategies, such as chemical treatments and breeding for mite-resistant bees, are essential to control their spread and protect honeybee health.
