Neonicotinoids are helping Varroa mites - Dr. Lewis James Bartlett University of Georgia

In today's episode, I spoke with Dr. Lewis James Bartlett, a leading entomologist and evolutionary biologist at the University of Georgia. We discuss his groundbreaking study showing neonicotinoids assist Varroa mites in harming honey bees during field trials. This crucial information needs to reach beekeepers. Many wrongly blame themselves for high mite levels despite proper management. The message is clear: it's not their fault, but the pesticide industry's, as I've consistently highlighted on this channel.
