[Bonus] Short - Varroa Treatments: Apistan & Checkmite+
In this Varroa Treatments Short, Jeff and Becky are once again joined by Dr. David Peck of Betterbee to examine two early weapons in the war against varroa: Apistan and CheckMite+. These synthetic miticides—fluvalinate and coumaphos—once gave beekeepers a critical lifeline when varroa first emerged in U.S. apiaries in the late 1980s. But what started as a breakthrough quickly turned into a warning tale of overuse, resistance, and long-lasting chemical residues. David walks us through the history of these treatments, how their effectiveness faded with repeated use, and what their legacy teaches us about the...
