Reproduction of parasitic mites Varroa destructor in original and new honeybee hosts

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2018
The ectoparasitic mite, Varroa destructor, shifted host from the eastern honeybee, Apis cerana, to the western honeybee, Apis mellifera. Whereas the original host survives infestations by this parasite, they are lethal to colonies of its new host.

Deep Learning Beehive Monitoring System for Early Detection of the Varroa Mite

open access: yesSignals, 2022
One of the most critical causes of colony collapse disorder in beekeeping is caused by the Varroa mite. This paper presents an embedded camera module supported by a deep learning algorithm for the process of early detecting of Varroa infestations.
