Exploitation of results

The Varroa mite is the major problem of apiculture worldwide.
14,000,000 bee colonies in the EU, all with ‘Varroa problems’.
There is no product for the sustainable treatment of Varroa during the bee breeding season until now.

⇒ Very good possibilities for economic utilisation of results.
⇒ New dynamic for research and development of biological Varroa-control methods.
