Integrated Pest Management Control of Varroa destructor (Acari:Varroidae), the Most Damaging Pest of (Apis mellifera L. (Hymenoptera: Apidae)) Colonies

Cameron J. Jack et al.

Summary: Varroa destructor is a major threat to honey bee health worldwide, and the overuse of chemical treatments for control has led to widespread resistance. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a sustainable approach to minimize environmental impacts, but reliable IPM protocols for Varroa are lacking due to its complex biology and heavy reliance on chemical control. Effective IPM strategies for Varroa control in managed colonies must be cost-effective and easily implemented by beekeepers.
