Tropilaelaps is a mite which has not arrived in North America yet; however it is on the horizon. Some great scientists are working to get ahead of this to minimize the impact to our bees when they do get here.
You are advised to stay abreast of this so you are ready for the impact when it happens. The American Bee Journal and Bee Culture magazines are great ways to do that, as well as to stay informed on other aspects of beekeeping.
