There was an article on the news yesterday about a possible new treatment against the Varroa Mite which is the major killer of honey bees throughout the world. Apparently it works by tricking the mite's immune system into thinking it is being attacked by a virus and the immune response then goes into overdrive and kills the mite. Sound familiar?
