Abstract
Notes and Comments
The mite Varroa destructor, a parasite of honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) can attack both adult bees and brood, and beekeepers are frequently compelled to use acaricides to avoid colony death. Acaricides should be minimally harmful to the bees, whilst maintaining toxicity to mites.
