Join us for an informative evening with Dr. Lindsay Wilson!
We are excited to welcome Dr. Lindsay Wilson as our featured speaker for the January meeting. Dr. Wilson, a Bay Area veterinarian and avid beekeeper, will present:
“New Strategies and Emerging Concerns for Honeybee Health”
In this timely talk, Dr. Wilson will cover:
- Updates on the two newly approved Varroa management treatments: extended-release oxalic acid strips (e.g., VarroxSan) and the innovative dsRNA-based product (Vadescana).
- New developments related to American Foulbrood (AFB).
- Insights on foreign/invasive threats like wasps and Tropilaelaps mites (“tropi mites”).
- Practical Varroa management strategies tailored to coastal climates, drawing from her own beekeeping experience in San Francisco.
This presentation is perfect for beekeepers looking to stay ahead of emerging tools and challenges in honeybee health.
