this is not really
that is to use a they originate from africa
and they recently have come over to the united states and have spread across makes
it very quickly
so the small high you know how to a no nonsense the smell
so what they do this they
since i was or honey bee colonies and they find them
and that's my you know within
in the colonies and
typically in the in my eggs and this is a parasite to the colony
so
and the european he's the type that we have united states
don't we have very strong defences against small i recall
so it's a big problem doing them from keepers
because you resist the choice you can use pesticides to try to do with them
we can try to sort of
use alternative methods
to try to combat which is what i'm doing so i'm trying to design a
trap that would fit over the entrance of the id i've and it would prevent
does not i know from get into the lives but with still out id second
and in a high underserved
so now i'm on my third duration of the trap and looking forward i'm hoping
to change some things to make it to have more incentives for the small i
you know to come into the try i'm hoping to
talk with area there is and see if they would be interested in trying to
attract design
so that not have more larger tile size and report from there and c
how they really work the larger
each test also you have like a strong enough high
then the high will usually be able to deal with a small i beetle we
have a weaker colony that as other stresses on it from either side used for
role might disease
then the small i can see that to be point to
the call need to call trying to do is sort of
except one part of the tissue were for the small i you know
so that we hopefully the car we will be able to
mister straight in sort overcome some of the other bigger issues facing so hope to
server with other students in your house on some research that so that the kids
or continue on the research process
and teaching where you since i found so much better working from them are you
leaving you what literature
i found somewhat that we're working with them to other students
