Researchers have identified the Varroa destructor mite as the primary threat to beehives in Latin America, emphasizing that early monitoring is crucial to reduce the spread of pests and diseases. This finding was published in an international scientific journal. Bees play a vital role in global food production as pollinators for various crops, but diseases and pests affecting hives are increasingly spreading in Latin America. A study in the journal Apidologie highlights the need for enhanced health surveillance systems to quickly detect these risks.
