Pests

Please see our pages below on the various pests. Some are common, some we hope you will never come across and that they do not make it to the UK.

We will add to and update these pages as and when we can, including our own suggestions for treatment and any new research we come across:

  • Varroa Mite (Varroa destructor)
  • Wax Moths
  • Tracheal Mites – Acarapisosis
  • Tropilaelaps mite
  • Small hive beetle
  • Asian hornet
