How Varroa Mites spread Deformed Wing Virus to Honey Bees - Dr. Zac Lamas

[@researcherAmateur]

Dr. Lamas. I like him.. he reminds me of my younger self. He picked some great subjects to study and he picked nature instead of getting old in a lab. I took years to finish my school days because I liked nature much more.. no time to watch it all at once. I'll stop in the middle and rewatch it all tonight. So far I like where this is going

This was a fantastic interview, Humberto. Very interesting, about mites being more like a mosquito in spreading viruses.

I haven't seen DWV in almost 10 yrs now.EFB is 10 times the problem dwv is I hope they work on it soon.

DWV is not always visually obvious. The typical presentation of shriveled wing or the absence thereof is not an indicator of presence or absence. All hives have DWV in them.

So much great information! Would love to hear more about Eugene’s work too ;)

Based off your conversation should we do OA treatment during the summer to kill the phoretive mites?

[@davidmaloney2724]

I heard dwv has become more dangerous in the last years. But wondering if there are bees that are resilient to dwv.

Awesome video..but I'd like to know how you found mike palmer videos??

[@InsideTheHiveTV]

Me or Dr. Lamas?

[@tellthebeez]

As you say, we'll quickly figure out here in Australia...

[@badassbees3680]

Don't make mistake of treating like Americans did..bees can beat anything eventually.
