Pests - #2 of 6 stressors by reach
Every non-Varroa pest USDA groups together, including small hive beetle, tracheal mites, wax moth and similar invaders of the hive.
Of the 6 stressor categories USDA tracks, Other pests is the 2nd-most reported, touching 10.7% of U.S. colonies last quarter. Here's where it concentrates, how it moves through the year, and which pollination crops walk hives into it - all from public USDA aggregates.
USDA asks beekeepers each quarter what share of their colonies each stressor touched. For other pests, here are the states reporting the heaviest load this spring - measured against the U.S. average.
Share of each state's colonies reporting other pests (2025 Q2), against the U.S. average of 10.7%. Tap a state for its full profile.
Other pests is not steady through the year. Six straight quarters of real USDA readings show how the pressure shifts from season to season.
Share of U.S. colonies affected, six straight quarters of USDA readings.
Pollination contracts walk hives straight into local conditions. This ranks every tracked crop by the other pests load across its growing states - a colony-weighted read of what a hive meets at each bloom.
