I take a look at the peer reviewed literature that all seems to point in the same direction. Treating bees for mites might kill the mites but also harms the bees. So why do we do it?

If Treating for Mites Hurts Bees Why do we Do It?

Hobby Beekeeping is a podcast about learning from bees.
Hosted by retired psychologist and beekeeper Hank Svec, each episode explores practical beekeeping, hive entrance observations, bee research, and the questions that arise from simply spending time with bees.
Rather than focusing only on techniques, the podcast looks at what bees may be teaching us through careful observation. Topics include the Three-Hive Method, hive survival, swarming, AI-assisted entrance monitoring, equipment, research, and conversations with beekeepers from beginners to experienced professionals.
 
If we watch the bees long enough without touching them, they tell us something.
