TECA to discuss Varroa treatments

From 20 March to 15 April 2015, the TECA Beekeeping Exchange Group will host a moderated discussion on the effects of anti-Varroa treatments on the health of bees. The discussion will be conducted by Dr Giovanni Formato, Head of the Beekeeping Laboratory of the Regional Institute for Animal Diseases of the Regions Lazio and Tuscany, Italy (Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale del Lazio e della Toscana). Giovanni is a veterinarian and expert in bee diseases. He will present an overview of the pros and cons of different Varroa treatments and their effects on the health of bees.

TECA is FAO’s free online platform for the exchange of information and knowledge for small agricultural producers. The discussion is organised within the framework of an agreement between APIMONDIA (the International Federation of Beekeepers’ Associations) and TECA.
