I repeat, there is no report of a honey buzzard attack on an apiary, another thing is a wild hive (but those have not been eradicated by varroa due to the lack of treatment?), which does not represent an economic loss for a beekeeper; Therefore, in ecological terms it is very effective (it is so effective that the breeding pairs of honey buzzard have grown) so it is expected that an ecological balance will be produced.
This does not imply that prevention and protection measures are not necessary in the apiary, but that is because VV is a naturalized invader. But that is not the British case, if there are no means for many teams, a species that does it naturally at no cost other than its own survival would not be a lower cost ecological solution.
Regarding how it is going, this year thanks to the protection measures I have hardly had any incidence of velutina in the apiary and winter mortality has been reduced to ordinary values.
