A population of especially commercially-kept bees infected by the Varroa mite parasite is treated by a process and assembly which exposes both the bees and mites to super-dry hot air. Ambient air is first drawn into the treatment assembly (1-19) and is heated to more than 100 degrees Celsius, producing an increase in water vapor partial pressure in comparison with the ambient atmospheric value. This excess pressure is relieved through a regulated outlet. The higher the rate of release, the higher is the temperature of the heated air. The super dry air is then released through a heat exchanger in which it is brought to the bee treatment temperature of 40 to 45 degrees C.
