Risk assessment and predation potential of Stratiolaelaps scimitus (Acari: Laelapidae) to control Varroa destructor (Acari: Varroidae) in honey bees
Table 1
Status of Varroa destructor (female adults) and five different honey bee brood stages after a maximum of 24h of confinement with Stratiolaelaps scimitus under laboratory conditions.
Each arena (n = 20 per type of prey) contained 20 starved female predatory mites and a single prey.
