Abstract

Ensuring high efficiency in the control of Varroa destructor through the use of non-chemical products is critical for the survival of bees globally. In the Andean region of Ecuador, beekeeping activity has become relevant, due to the exuberant melliferous wealth. However, no scientific information has been generated at the country level. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate lithium chloride (LiCl) as a potential alternative for the control of Varroa destructor mite.
