- **Event Name**: Mite-Resistant Honey Bees: Science, Solutions, and Local Action
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 31 Mar, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Tue, 31 Mar, 2026 at 08:30 pm (-07:00)
- **Event Description**: Join Iain Glass, Master Beekeeper and Executive Director of Ensure Hive Future, to discover the fascinating science behind mite-resistant honey bees and learn how you can help strengthen local bee populations. This event will explore the history of mite resistance, the latest research, and practical ways beekeepers can integrate these resilient bees into their own hives.

Why This Matters

Beekeeping today faces an unprecedented challenge. Mites are evolving resistance to chemical treatments, and the viruses they carry are becoming more dangerous. In 2024–2025, North America saw its highest-ever colony losses, with 62% of hives failing to survive the winter. Since the 1980s, when the Varroa destructor mite first jumped species, beekeepers have had to adapt to a new reality. But there’s hope: honey bees naturally have the ability to slow mite reproduction, and this trait has been observed in feral bee populations, research programs by the USDA and universities, and successful beekeeper initiatives across the U.S., U.K., Europe, and beyond.

Join us to celebrate innovation in beekeeping, connect with fellow bee enthusiasts, and play a part in building healthier, more resilient bee populations in our community—all guided by the expertise of Iain Glass.
