Picking up where I left off in the last video, I continue discussing the barriers, progress, and plans for one of my beekeeping out yards. This update focuses on how I approach Varroa mites in a sustainable way — balancing the tension between treatment-free beekeeping and selective interventions.
By looking at colony health through the lens of honey bee genetics, queen rearing, and hygienic bees, I explore both the merits and pitfalls of treating while simultaneously selecting for VSH bees and long-term honey bee resistance.
This kind of practical beekeeping education is aimed at supporting sustainable beekeeping for small-scale and sideline beekeepers who want to build stronger, locally adapted colonies.
Topics covered: beekeeping, honey bees, queen rearing, bee breeding, honey bee genetics, varroa mites, hygienic bees, VSH bees, sustainable beekeeping, treatment free beekeeping, beekeeping education, honey bee resistance
