Varroa Pop simulates the growth of Varroa mite population 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. This program can help you understand the interactions between the honey bee and mite populations and provide insights on how best to control Varroa in colonies.
