Dear Insiders,

I am excited to share my latest deep dive into the world of honey bee research - and when I say deep, I mean microscopic! My newest video explore the fascinating world of Varroa destructor mite dissection, a groundbreaking approach scientists are using to combat one of beekeeping's greatest challenges.

The video is based on a recent scientific article by Vincent Piou that you can find right free of charge HERE. 

  • Discover how researchers are performing incredibly precise dissections on mites smaller than a grain of rice
  • Learn about the complex internal structures of Varroa mites, including their reproductive system and digestive tract
  • See how this research could lead to more effective treatments for protecting our honey bees
  • Watch actual footage of these intricate scientific procedures

This isn't just about scientific curiosity - understanding Varroa mite biology is crucial for developing better ways to protect our bees. As beekeepers and bee enthusiasts, this research directly impacts our ability to maintain healthy colonies.

If you're a premium newsletter subscriber, check out the video below before they go live on YouTube to see how scientists are unraveling the mysteries of these devastating parasites, one tiny dissection at a time.
