Dear Honey Bee Friend:

*SPREAD THE WORD* - Local beekeeping clubs and associations are key to
making the Mite-A-Thon a success!

The Mite-A-Thon is a national effort to collect mite infestation data and
to visualize *Varroa* infestations in honey bee colonies across North
America within a one-week window.  All beekeepers can participate, creating
a rich distribution of sampling sites in Canada, the United States, and
Mexico.

*OBJECTIVE: *1) To raise awareness about honey bee colony *Varroa*
infestations in North America through effective monitoring methods. 2)
Management strategies will be made available for discussion within bee
organizations utilizing Mite-A-Thon partner developed information and
outreach materials.

*PARTICIPANTS: *All beekeepers in North America are encouraged to
participate.

*WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:*

   - Encourage your members to participate in September, through meetings,
   newsletters, emails, social media etc.
   - Teach new beekeepers how to monitor for mites in August.
   - Help your members prepare their monitoring materials.
   - Support your members in making sure they are able to monitor mites
   effectively and report their data.
