The 2021 North American Mite-A-Thon Summer Session will run from August 14th-29th!
The Mite-A-Thon is a tri-national effort to collect Varroa mite infestation data in honey bee colonies across North America. All beekeepers can easily participate by testing their hives for mites and uploading their data to MiteCheck, creating a rich distribution of sampling sites in Canada, the United States, and Mexico.
This initiative has provided a platform for beekeepers’ associations across North America to engage newer members and re-familiarize long-time members with proper Varroa monitoring techniques. It has also opened the conversation on treatment practices, initiating a dialogue between beekeepers!
