Em março de 1991, durante inspeção de rotina no apiário da EMBRAPA, Centro de Pesquisa Agroflorestal de Roraima, localizado no campo experimental Bom Intento, a 27 Km de Boa Vista, encontrou-se ácaros parasitando larvas e adultos de Apis mellifera

Varroa jacobsoni foi descrita em 1904 por Oldenans em Java em cria de Apis cerana. O nível de infestação com V. jacobsoni mede indiretamente o grau de tolerância da A. mellifera à V. jacobsoni. O estudo foi conduzido no Município de Mandirituba-PR. Os enxames foram capturados com caixa iscas. A percentagem de infestação V. jacobsoni foi resistrada mensalmente. Aplicando-se o teste de Friedman e usando-se o rank de cada colônia, separou-se os grupos de colônias homogêneas. A tendência sazonal foi demostrada com representação gráfica. O experimento foi delineado segundo blocos inteiramente casualizados. Em todas as amostras foi encontrado o ácaro V. jacobsoni. Diferenças significativas entre as colônias foram observadas. Na população de Apis mellifera scutellata existem três grupos homogêneos de colônias quanto ao nível de infestação com esse ácaro. O inverno é a época onde o grau de infestação com V. jacobsoni é mais elevado. Natural infestation of Apis mellifera scutellata (Hymenoptera; Apidae) by Varroa jacobsoni (Mesostigmata; Varroidae) Abstract Infestation by Varroa jacobsoni in an offspring of Apis cerana was first described as early as 1904 in Java. Since the level of infestation by V. jacobsoni may be an indirect procedure to measure the Apis mellifera scutellata tolerance degree towards it, the present research was carried out in order to evaluate such biological relationship between host and parasite and its implication in the Apis mellifera scutellata productivity. This study was carried out at Mandirituba, Paraná, Brazil. The swarms were captured with bait boxes. The percentage of V. jacobsoni infestation was established monthly. According to the Friedman test ant through the rank, homogeneous colonies were single out. The experiment has been delineated as entirely randomized blocks.

Different levels of infestation with the mite Varroa jacobsoni have been observed in the various Apis mellifera races. In general, bees of European races are more susceptible to the mite than African honey bees and their hybrids. In Brazil honey bee colonies are not treated against the mite, though apparently both climate and bee race influence the mite infestation. Six mixed colonies were made with Italian and Africanized honey bees. The percentage infestation by this parasite was found to be significantly lower in adult Africanized (1.69 ± 0.44) than Italian bees (2.79 ± 0.65). This ratio was similar to that found in Mexico, even though the Africanized bees tested there had not been in contact with varroa, compared to more than 20 years of the coexistence in Brazil. However, mean mite infestation in Brazil on both kinds of bees was only about a third of that found in Mexico.
