Research Project:
Investigating Volatiles for Possible Varroa Mite Control
Location:
Honey Bee Research
Project Number: 5342-21000-014-08
Project Type:
Trust
Start Date: Aug 31, 2003
End Date: Aug 30, 2005
Objective:
Screening volatiles from mite-resistant bee stock and Varroa mites and testing volatiles on mites.
Approach:
Assess possibility for controlling V. destructor based on identification of volatile active ingredients from resistant lines of bees and from the Varroa mites. Test volatiles for attractiveness and/or repellency and incorporate them into a trapping device for Varroa. Documents Trust with Almond BVd. of CA. Log 23990. Formerly 5342-21000-012-06T (11/2004).
