A powerful tool to select for mite resistant honeybees?!
Kaira Wagoner and Cory Stevens discuss her highly practical UBO assay and how it effectively identifies bees that are highly resistant to varroa mites. Kaira is currently a research scientist at UNCG, and a co-founder of Optera. She shares some exciting research results that may have massive benefits for honey bee and native bee health.
