Count Your Mites, The North American Mite-A-Thon Begins Soon

​The first round of the North American Mite-A-Thon is right around the corner. From May 2nd through May 17th submit your mite counts to help keep track of varroa across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
​
You can also participate in the second round of mite counting, August 15th through August 30th. 
 
Use a sugar shake, or an alcohol wash, to measure your varroa and submit your data here.  The Honey Bee Health Coalition has a video demonstrating both methods. 

Your mite counts will become part of the Mite-A-Thon 2020 final report, a resource for beekeepers. View the 2019 report here.
