Hello hello! This is the second to last chapter of the book. Huzzah! We learn all about colony defense, which includes a fair amount of information about the development of varroa mite resistance behaviours in honey bees. This is particularly timely for me as I'm dealing with high mite loads this year, which I detail at the beginning of the episode. 

Please see my website for photos and a transcript of all that is discussed in this episode. 

Thank you for listening! Stay safe out there.
