A recent international scientific study has raised alarms about the health crisis facing bee populations in Latin America, where annual losses of bee colonies range from 20% to 50%. The Varroa destructor mite is identified as the primary health threat. Conducted by Argentine specialists from INTA and CONICET, the research emphasizes the need for enhanced monitoring and early detection. The implications extend beyond honey production, as bee health directly affects crop pollination, agricultural output, and the economic value generated by the sector.
