Varroa mites are a major pest that have been negatively impacting honey bee colonies for decades. In this experiment, I test whether manipulating the amount of brood within a colony would be a valid pest management strategy for honey bee colonies. I predicted that colonies with removed brood frames would have a lower mite level. The results showed no significant difference between colonies with added, removed, or controlled brood frames.
