Darth Varroa Destructor have Bees shaking in their Hives

Varroa destructor is an external parasitic mite that attacks and feeds on the honey bees and the disease caused by the mites is called varroosis. The Varroa mite can reproduce only in a honey bee colony. It attaches to the body of the bee and weakens the bee by sucking fat bodies. The Varroa mite was introduced to B.C. about 30 years ago. Since then, it has caused major bee deaths and economic losses for beekeepers. Our honeybees have no defense against Varroa mites, so the use of chemicals known as acaricides are used, but they are also variably toxic to bees and can contaminate wax and honey. The rapid development of mite resistance toward chemicals has become another issue.
