Dispersion type of Varroa mite (Acari, Varroidae) Among the Bee hives in Kurdistan Province, Iran
Journal Title: International Journal of Farming and Allied Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Samples of bees were collected from different apiaries of Kurdistan province. The samplings were done in spring, summer and fall of 2011 from twelve bee apiaries. Results demonstrated that maximum infestation of bees to Varroa mites was in the apiaries sampled in Saghez (32%) and minimum infestation was observed in samples of Marivan (5%). Dispersion in most of sampled locations was of homogenous type (Binomial), while in Marivan was of random type (Poisson). Statistically speaking the results showed that the number of Varroa mites in every single bee and in each of sampling times were significantly different from other bees and other samplings. In the third sampling we observed the maximum of significant difference between number of Varroa mites infesting bees but in the first sampling the difference between population of Varroa mites in individual bees was minimum.
