๐Ÿ Varroa & Pollinator Health Calculators

Research-grade models for Varroa mite resistance, amitraz synergist efficacy, treatment optimization, colony survival, and pollination value. Based on ARS/UC Davis ABC transporter resistance research.

🐝 USDA ARS & BIP — Varroa Action Thresholds & Treatment Guidelines REFERENCE DATA
Thresholds auto-loaded — Fine et al. 2025 ARS/UC Davis
Action Thresholds (USDA ARS)
≥2% wash — Spring/Summer: Treat
≥1% wash — Fall (Aug–Sep): Treat
<1% — Monitor monthly
≥3% — Emergency treatment
Amitraz Resistance (Fine 2025)
Susceptible: LC50 <0.1 ppm
Moderate: LC50 0.1–1.0 ppm
High: LC50 1.0–10 ppm
Extreme: LC50 >10 ppm
Colony Loss Benchmarks (BIP)
Acceptable loss: <21.9%/yr
US avg loss 2023–24: 34.1%
Varroa-attributable: ~42% of losses
DWV co-infection rate: ~68%
Treatment Efficacy (USDA AMS)
Amitraz (susceptible): 95–99%
Amitraz + synergist: 88–96%
Oxalic acid: 90–97% (broodless)
Formic acid: 77–92%
