Hi, how can we help?

Scottish Varroa Learning Booklet

Scottish Varroa Learning Package

SRUC and the Scottish Government’s Bee Health Improvement Partnership have recently produced a learning booklet on Varroa.

The Scottish Varroa Learning Booklet is now available to download and print. It aims to give beekeepers a better understanding of the particular issues beekeepers face in Scotland when tackling Varroa.

Varroa is a key threat to Scottish honey bees and became a reportable pest in Scotland in April 2021 through the Bee Diseases and Pest Control (Scotland) Amendment Order 2021.

You can download a copy of the booklet here

or from the National Bee Unit (NBU) BeeBase. Go to the Beekeeping in Scotland section of BeeBase and go to the bottom of the page called latest updates.

Please email Lorraine.Johnston@sruc.ac.uk if you need more information.
