Today, Erik suited up for one of the most important jobs in beekeeping, helping protect the hive from Varroa mites.
From the bees' point of view, it probably looked like a secret mission. But in reality, the treatment helps reduce mite populations so the colony can stay healthy and continue doing what it does best: raising brood, pollinating flowers, and making honey.
Every healthy hive depends on good management, and keeping mites under control is one of the best ways to support long-term colony health.
