In order to investigate the potential of predatory mites to control Varroa infestations in honey bees, it is important to assess the risk of predation of the honey bee brood by the predators under realistic conditions (i.e. within the honey bee colony). Here, we provide a protocol to evaluate this risk of brood predation by the soil-dwelling predatory mite Stratiolaelaps scimitus. .justify:after { content: ""; display:inline-block; width: 100%; } .justify:after { content: ""; display:inline-block; width: 100%; } .justify:after { content: ""; display:inline-block; width: 100%; }
