Hygienic and grooming behavior, study methods of varroosis in apiaries of Corrientes
Varroa destructor is the main parasite responsible for the death of registered bee colonies in Argentina. However, some lineages of Apis mellifera appear to have qualities that make them more resistance towards parasitism than other severely affected colonies, until collapse and death. Hygienic beha...

Apis mellifera Varroa destructor mite-infested bees screen floors Northeast Argentine Apis mellifera Varroa destructor infestación por ácaros pisos técnicos Nordeste Argentino Varroa destructor is the main parasite responsible for the death of registered bee colonies in Argentina. However, some lineages of Apis mellifera appear to have qualities that make them more resistance towards parasitism than other severely affected colonies, until collapse and death. Hygienic behavior, high grooming capacity, and swarming may be some of those characteristics. The aim was to study the hygienic behavior and grooming in A. mellifera colonies and its relationship with the percentage of V. destructor infestation. The methodology was: 1. Selection of apiaries; 2. Evaluation of Varroa infestation in adult and brood bees; 3. Assessment of the cleaning capacity of the bee population; and 4. Estimation of grooming behavior in the bee population. Regarding the hygienic behavior evaluated in the selected hives, it was observed that the bees in the area have a high percentage of efficiency in the removal of dead brood. The percentage of the Varroa shed by the grooming action was high in the hives of the C1 and C14 trials, reaching 51% in the C12 trial. Bee populations studied have sanitary characteristics that distinguish them from bees from other regions of the country: 1- They show tolerance to the percentages of Varroa infestation and 2- They express high hygienic behavior and grooming. These qualities, added to studies of wing morphometry, could lay the foundations for differentiating and characterizing the bees of the Argentine Northeast. El parásito Varroa destructor es el principal responsable de la muerte de colonias de abejas registradas en Argentina. Sin embargo, algunos linajes de Apis mellifera parecen tener cualidades, que le brindan mayor resistencia a la parasitosis respecto de otras colonias que son gravemente afectadas, hasta el colapso y la muerte. El comportamiento higiénico, la alta capacidad de acicalamiento o grooming y la enjambrazón, pueden ser algunas de esas características. El objetivo fue estudiar el comportamiento higiénico y grooming en colonias de A. mellifera y su relación con el porcentaje de infestación de V. destructor. La metodología fue: 1. Selección de apiarios. 2. Evaluación de la infestación con Varroa en abejas adultas y en cría. 3. Determinación de capacidad de limpieza de la población de abejas y 4. Estimación del comportamiento de grooming de la población de abejas. Respecto al comportamiento higiénico evaluado en las colmenas seleccionadas, se observó que las abejas de la zona presentan alto porcentaje de eficiencia en remoción de la cría muerta. Los valores porcentuales de varroa desprendida por acción de grooming fue alto en las colmenas del ensayo C1 y C14 y alcanzó el 51% en la C12. Las poblaciones de abejas estudiadas presentan características sanitarias que las distinguen de abejas de otras regiones del país: 1- Muestran tolerancia a los porcentajes de infestación con varroa y 2- Expresan alto comportamiento higiénico y grooming. Estas cualidades, sumadas a estudios de morfometría alar, podrían sentar las bases para diferenciar y caracterizar las abejas del nordeste argentino. Instituto Agrotécnico "Pedro M.
