Abstract

Varroa destructor is an external parasitic mite that attacks honey bees Apis cerana and Apis mellifera. Varroa mites can be controlled through commercially available miticides as well as non-chemical means. Our research work has been conducted on plants extracts reducing the mite population. We have obtained promising results for extracts of yew and walnut.
