MiteCheck is an online platform that allows beekeepers to enter the varroa mite levels you find in your colonies after monitoring using the powdered sugar roll test. Participating in this online platform will provide critical information about the health of bees in your region. Our goal is to enable participants to see seasonal and geographic trends in mite populations across the country. This information will help you develop effective mite management strategies, and understand the risk of mites coming into your colonies from drifting and robbing bees in your area.
Beekeeper reported county level varroa mite test results to www.mitecheck.com from May 1 - June 15, 2016.
Visit www.mitecheck.com and see the latest test results from your area and across the country. Please consider joining us in this important effort to monitor varroa mite levels. For those who have reported your varroa mite counts already, thank you for participating. Please continue to be a part of MiteCheck!
MiteCheck is a collaboration between the Bee Informed Partnership, Michigan State University, University of Minnesota and the University of Maryland, College Park.
