Evaluation of Two Commonly Used Field Tests to Assess <i>Varroa destructor</i> Infestation on Honey Bee (<i>Apis mellifera</i>) Colonies

Evaluation of Two Commonly Used Field Tests to Assess <i>Varroa destructor</i> Infestation on Honey Bee (<i>Apis mellifera</i>) Colonies

Assessment of colony infestation by <i>Varroa destructor</i> is a crucial part of the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) applied to beekeeping. Natural mite fall, quantified by counting the mites on sticky sheets, is considered a reference method to estimate varroa infestation level in hon...
