About VarroaPop
VarroaPop simulates the growth of Varroa mite populations in honey bee colonies.
The program demonstrates how Varroa mites influence colony population growth
throughout the year. You can change many factors through the menus in the
model such as the initial population size, queen egg laying potential, and
mite reproduction rates, so you can see how these factors influence both colony
and mite population growth. We hope that the model will help you understand
the interactions between the honey bee and mite populations and provide insights
on how best to control Varroa in colonies.
