Abstract

For Varroa mite (Varroa destructor) control, as an important pest of honey bee (APIS MELLIFERA L.) chemical control methods have been used widely yet. These methods not only cause contamination of hive products but also make varroa RESISTANCE to chemical acaricides. Nowadays much of the researches are focused on non-chemical control methods such as producing RESISTANCE races of honey bees. One of the important factors for honey bee RESISTANCE to this mite is shortening the capping period of sealed brood cells that the mite can not complete its metamorphosis cycle and reproduction and decrease its population. In this study, honey bee populations from Isfahan, Tehran, Markazi and Ghazvin provinces were compared for capping period of brood cells. The statistical design for evaluating this RESISTANCE mechanism was a complete randomized design. Treatments were colonies of four above mentioned provinces from the National breeding research project that carried out on four replications. Each replication included a hive with an average of seven frames of bees that in certain time each queen was confined on a comb in a cage with queen excluder. After 24 hours the oviposited portion of each comb was marked. Within the ninth day the brood cells were capped and the exact time of capping was recorded. Eleven days later the frames were transferred into the incubator (34±1ºC and 60% RH) and the exact time of brood cell opening and capping period was recorded. Results showed that there is no significant difference between THE DURATION OF CAPPING PERIOD in four provinces. If we compare the average of total duration of capping period with each other, the difference of 5 hours exist within colonies of Ghazvin with 290 hours (The longest average of capping period) and Markazi with 285 hours (The shortest average of capping period). The more smaller capping period cause varroa mite not to be able to complete its developmental period and as a result its population goes down. Results showed that colonies of Markazi and Isfahan provinces had lower mite population.
