Bill Mackereth, a beekeeper from Cockermouth, Cumbria, UK, checks his hives for signs of Varoa mite damage. The Varoa mite is a parasite of honeybees that has increased hugely in recent years as a result of milder winters caused by climate change. The mite attacks both the adults and brood bees, sucking their blood and causing damage. Many bee colonies around the world, have collapsed due to the mite, deeply worrying as honeybees are resposible for pollinating the majority of food crops that humas rely on for food.
