The BEE HEALTHY project investigates how honey bee colonies collectively defend against the Varroa destructor mite, which threatens their survival. By exploring the social behaviors and immune responses of bees, the project aims to enhance understanding of their resilience and improve sustainable beekeeping practices.
Honey bees, Apis mellifera, have experienced the full impacts of globalization, including the recent invasion by the parasite, Varroa destructor.
This deadly mite has rapidly become one of the main causes of colony losses worldwide, with a huge economic impact on beekeeping.
Despite the lethal effects of varroa, some colonies survive infestation.
In such colonies, honey bees are able to work together to selectively remove highly parasitized brood, thereby limiting mite spread.
