Organic varroa-treatment in semi- and professional beekeeping
Questionnaire 2005 (Methods and results)
As an ongoing development of the strategy for fighting varroa mites, the Danish Beekeepers Association is evaluating the organic way of fighting varroa every 2nd or 3th year. The „safe strategy" for the smaller beekeepers (less than 100 colonies) has been used for almost 20 years with success. From the large scale beekeepers point of view these methods may couse problems, due to the time consumption. Therefore we interviewed a number of larger beekeepers using the organic way of fighting varroa. We asked the beekeepers questions about fighting varroa. Since this is an ongoing study, we will just mention some of the interesting aspects of this survey.

The background
On the isolated Island of Læsø, Denmark has a population of black bees Apis mellifera mellifera.
The black bees on the Island have been kept there by beekeepers for many years. They are gentle, productive with a high tolerance to adverse climatic condi-tions.
