As a beekeeper this hurts my heart so much. How effing stupid are these people? In the US we have lived with varroa for who knows how long, it's so common we don't ask IF we will see it, we ask when because we know its gonna happen to our hives at some point. We treat the hives and move on. Some beekeepers don't even treat for it because they want to further the genetics of the strongest hive. Ugh.
This stupid-think better not EVER be attempted here... Americans would fight like hell for bees. No bees, no pollen spreading... far bigger threat to life on Earth than anything. Love my little buzzing neighbors.
"We had to destroy the beehives in order to save them."
