TL;DR: It is suggested that certain management practices were associated to mite infestation level in order to improve the sanitary condition in the colonies and epidemiological studies provide key information to design surveillance programs against one the major threat to worldwide beekeeping.

TL;DR: Under contrasting natural conditions, environment seems a predominant driver on Varroa destructor infestation level in honey bee colonies.

TL;DR: Spatial distribution of colonies with a higher risk of achieving high Varroa levels seems to be better explained by management practices than a geographical condition, which may delay mite population growth during following spring and summer improving colonies performance during the honey yield season.

Queen replacement: the key to prevent winter colony losses in Argentina
Agostina Giacobino,Ana Ines Molineri,Natalia Bulacio Cagnolo,Julieta Merke,Emanuel Orellano,Ezequiel Bertozzi,Germán Masciangelo,Hernán Pietronave,Adriana Pacini,Cesar Salto,Marcelo Signorini +10 more
TL;DR: Even considering that the winter colony losses can be explained by a complex interaction of factors, requeening appears as one of the most important management practices to reduce this phenomenon in Argentina.

TL;DR: An integrated strategy for controlling mites that includes chemotherapy and suitable beekeepers management is needed to keep mite populations low during winter.
