Cornell University in Ithaca reported that varroa mites feed on honeybees, posing a threat to colonies. These mites can result in economic losses for beekeepers and have negative effects on the pollination of crops. Entomology Ph.D. student Petra Hafker is researching eco-friendly methods to manage these mites. She is also involved in educating bee producers on how to protect their colonies.
