"For decades, beekeepers have fought a tiny parasite called
Varroa
destructor, which has devastated honey-bee colonies around the world. But an
even deadlier mite,
Tropilaelaps mercedesae – or “tropi” – is on the march.
Beekeepers fear it will wreak even greater havoc than varroa – and the ripple
effects may be felt by the billions of people around the world who rely on
honey bee-pollinated plants."
