In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Jeff Harris from Mississippi State University, an expert on Varroa Sensitive Hygiene traits. This is followed by a segment where Dr. Ellis and Amy discuss overwintering colonies in different climates. We end this episode with Q&A.

Q&A

1. Has there been any research on combining two or more different chemical treatments at the same time to treat Varroa?
   
2. If the daughter of a non-local queen has survived a season, does that mean she been adapted to the colony?
   
3. Are there more than one type of Varroa? Do they look the same?
