Varroa is the single biggest challenge in modern beekeeping. Most of us manage it with chemical treatments and husbandry techniques, and that works well enough. But only if your timing is right and your dosage is spot on. Miss a treatment window and a colony can collapse. VSH queens offer something different: bees that actively fight back.
It's in virtually every UK beehive. Left unmanaged, it will kill a colony within a year or two.
Oxalic acid in winter, Apivar strips in late summer. It works, but your timing and dosage have to be right.
