Essay

It is shown that although presence V. destructor causes the grooming reactions of bees, they are not effective enough for the parasite population growth control. It is found out that in the colonies of bees with comparatively higher ability of recognising the damaged brood, less rates of multiplying varroa population is observed, which exhibits the most in the period of a colony wintering preparation. It is shown that under the favourable conditions, bee colonies with the highest hygienic abilities benefit the most. And under the unfavorable ones the most beneficial are the colonies with the intermediate abilities. Thus, it may make the rate of bee colonies selection to the Varroa resistance slower.
