Application and Research Progress of Prevention and Control Technology of Varroa destructor in Honeybee Colonies

doi:10.11924/j.issn.1000-6850.casb2023-0703

Abstract

Abstract:

Currently, Varroa destructor is acknowledged as a harmful parasite of honeybee colonies in the bee industry, leading to significant economic losses and ecological issues worldwide. In recent years, effective control of Varroa destructor in honeybee colonies has been elusive. While traditional physical, chemical, and biological control methods have been crucial in preventing and managing Varroa destructor, each approach has its own advantages and drawbacks, and persistent issues and limitations remain. This study reviews the latest research progress on the biological characteristics, pathogenicity, diagnosis, and control methods of Varroa destructor, offering valuable insights for future research and the prevention of Varroa destructor in honeybee colonies.

Key words: Varroa destructor, honeybee colonies, biological characteristics, harm, control methods
