Varroosis is one of the major parasitic diseases affecting European honey bees and is caused by mite infestation. For normal colony development and production of high-quality bee products, it is essential to continuously monitor hives for the presence of the bee mite Varroa destructor. Preventive measures should be implemented to avoid infestation, and in cases of detection, immediate treatment of the apiary with anti-varroosis preparations should be initiated.
