One cause of the loss of entire bee colonies is the varroa mite. The chemical treatment of bees can lead to residues in honey. Alternatively, biotechnical methods can be used. These still have development potential. This project plans the network 'practical bee research' of researchers and beekeepers to develop innovative diagnosis and treatment strategies. An EIP-Varroa counter will also developed. This consists of a construction with a camera that takes a photo of a soil inlay in order to evaluate it on site and to make an infestation diagnosis.
