- Tropilaelaps mites have rapidly expanded their range, recently confirmed in Europe and expected soon in the Americas.
- These parasites infest developing bee brood, causing colony collapse that threatens pollination of over 130 crops worth $15 billion annually.
- Effective control requires integrated methods including formic acid treatments, heat applications, and brood interruption to prevent resistance.
- Despite limited current knowledge, researchers are urgently investigating solutions to prepare for the mite’s inevitable arrival.
It's worse than varroa, and I don't think we'll ever be prepared fully.— John Miller, beekeeper, on the threat posed by the tropilaelaps mite.
