Meet Aakash Manaswi, the Florida student whose CO2 mite blower made bees healthier, increased honey across 60 hives

Aakash Manaswi has pioneered a groundbreaking technique to tackle the Varroa mite crisis threatening honey bee populations. His research indicates that carbon dioxide treatment rivals traditional pesticides in efficacy. This method stands out due to its cost-effectiveness and safety for both bees and consumers, providing beekeepers with a scalable, residue-free solution that supports honey bee conservation and enhances global food security.
