| Sumario: | This study aimed to verify the infestation rate of Varroa destructor in Apis mellifera L. colonies in the apiary from
Lagoa do Ouro County, South Agreste of Pernambuco. The survey was conducted in September 2015. The study included 15
colonies, which were collected on average 227 adult bees in each hive and placed in vials containing 70% alcohol. After
harvesting the field, the samples were transported to the Animal Biology Laboratory at the Federal Rural University of
Pernambuco/Academic Unit of Garanhuns, to perform the analysis and quantification of mites. The results showed that 100%
of the samples were infested with mites, and the overall average infestation rate was 6.16%. The degree of infestation by
Varroa destructor observed in colonies ranged from 0.93% to 11.15%. It is concluded that the analyzed colonies have different
levels of infestation by the mite Varroa destructor. |
