Pictured here is an adult female varroa mite on a purple-eyed drone pupa. Pregnant female varroa called "foundresses" preferentially enter drone (male bee) cells before they are capped, likely because males spend 3 days longer under their caps than workers. The extra days give the female varroa longer to produce as many offspring as they can -- and that's bad news for the colony. To read more about varroa's weird lifecycle, check out Dr. Heather's blog post from earlier this year (Link in Bio).

Formic Pro targets male and female varroa mites where they reproduce, killing up to 98% of dispersal phase mites found on adult bees, and up to 80% of the mites under the brood cap.

Captured here is a cell with multiple eggs, indicating that there are laying workers. Queen pheromone typically suppresses the development of worker ovaries, and even if a worker does manage to lay eggs, they will be removed by other workers. Finding multiple eggs in single cells is a major clue that your colony has been queenless for awhile.

Formic Pro is specially formulated to penetrate the brood cap, reaching varroa mites where they reproduce – targeting the root of the infestation, and protecting developing bees when they’re most vulnerable.

This year marks a noteworthy milestone at NOD Apiary Products Ltd. – 25 years committed to honey bee health and animal wellness.

Honey bee health is essential for the sake of our food and our future, so cues are taken from nature to develop viable solutions for beekeepers. We are keen to share this knowledge with others and are in the process of developing an education centre at our new facility in Quinte West, Ontario.

The future is bright and buzzing! 🐝

Heather will be presenting some of the research on honey bee communication that she completed at the University of California San Diego. She'll also have the opportunity to meet some local beekeepers, and check out how beekeeping is done in Serbia. Stay tuned for updates!
