Abstract
We have been working with Bob Noel, a beekeeper in Cumberland, Marylan d, since August, 1995. In our opinion, Bob has discovered an effective and economical control for varroa mite (Varroa jacobsoni Oudemans (Ac ari: Varroidae)) and probably also for tracheal mite (Acarapis woodi ( Rennie) (Acari: Tarsonemidae)); we saw very few tracheal mites in the hives examined.
