The recommendation for Pulsatilla comes from Christiane Maute's "Homeopathy for Plants" book. She describes Puls. as being the remedy for bees - as it is for Hive and Herd creatures. She treated insecticide poisoned bees with Puls and with Nux Vomica using an Apple Tree as a vector - she watered the apple tree with the remedies - one after the other - since she knew the bees foraged there. She regards the Varrora mite as the the opportunistic consequence of pesticide poisoning and her success in the one case she mentions would certainly suggest that given the indications of the remedies that she used.
Helios also have a nosode made from Varrora mite and bee pollen which some forums reporting good results:

Here also is a recent article on Homeopathy for Bees which appeared on the Alliance for Registered Homeopaths site:

I'm currently researching this area - the spouse of one of my teachers in the Irish School of Homeopathy keeps bees and they've been treated with Homeopathy for years. I'll be finding out more about the results tomorrow and perhaps get some more valuable indications for remedies to use when working with Bees.
