In this week’s episode of Beekeeping Today Podcast, we're excited to have Dr. Erica Shelley, CEO and founder of Best For Bees, rejoin us. Best For Bees is at the forefront with their innovative ProtectaBEE hive entrances, designed for multifunctional use, including a groundbreaking method for applying a fungal powder to combat varroa mites.

We delve into the potential of Metarhizium, a widely recognized fungus, for its arthropod- and insect-killing properties. Our discussion highlights ongoing research, in partnership with institutions like Washington State University, aimed at identifying the optimal Metarhizium strain for varroa mite treatment. The ProtectaBEE system offers a novel delivery method, enhancing the effectiveness of this biocontrol strategy.

Furthermore, Erica introduces the concept of “Big Bee Data,” a visionary approach leveraging beekeeper-collected data—from management apps to sensors and online forms—to shift from reactive to predictive colony management. This episode explores the challenges and solutions in refining this model to aid beekeepers in more effective bee management.
