David VanderDussen has disarmed a major threat to Ontario's bee industry.The
Hastings County resident developed,manufactures and distributes Mite-Away
II™, which defends honeybees against varroa mite infestations.That's
good news, not only for apiarists, but also for all those farmers whose
crops depend upon pollination.

and reducing honey production.VanderDussen worked with the University
of Guelph, the Ontario Beekeepers Association and the Canadian Honey Council
to develop an effective and environmentally-friendly product to control
the mites.
Mite-Away II™,with its extremely high efficacy rate, has received
approval from the Pest Management Regulatory Agency in Canada, and is
registered with the Environmental Protection Agency in the United States,
and is now widely used across North America.
