The 3 million commercial honeybee colonies
in the United States are used to pollinate more
than 100 crops annually that are worth an
estimated $15 billion.
Some crops, such as almonds, are almost
entirely depe ent on pollination.
The single greatest threat to honeybees, Varroa
destructor mite, has been detected in up to 90%
of US hives.
The parasitic mite reproduces in hives, feeds on
honeybees, and spreads disease, destroying
colonies across North and South America,
Europe, Asia, and Africa.
Popular current applications result in bee injury
and death.
GreenLight's RNA-based solution, now in field
trials, directly targets the Varroa mite to protect
bees, beekeepers, and pollination-dependent
crops.
