Resumen
The present rescarch had the objective of compiling and analyzing information from different
digital platforms on the use of formic acid in the control of varroa in becs, being the
methodological basis the consultation and analysis of information collected from different
university repositories and journals of scientific interest (Scielo, Redalyc, Academia, and
Ergormix), where it was found that the study variables commonly used are: varroa infestation in
adult bees (94), varroa infestation in operculated brood (94), number of varroa fallen per dm2 per
day, varroa reduction (%), treatment efficacy (%) and cost of treatments ($), in each study
variable the results from different researches were analyzed and averaged, the information
obtained came from current sources, which was expressed by means of tables summarized in
Microsoft Word and Excel programs. The infestation in adult bees presented an average of 9.97
9% and 10.99 % in operculated brood, figure that according to literature can be denominated as
% of average infestation; number of varroas fallen per dm2 per day an average of 4.20;
reduction of varroa 7. 37 %; The efficacy of the treatment using formic acid presented 78.67%,
resulting on the best treatment in efficacy and cost when compared to other organic products
such as oxalic acid, thymol and essential oil of rue. It also presented a cost of $ 8.20 per hive
treated. It was concluded that formic acid is an effective option in the control of the varroa
parasite, showing superiority when compared with other organic products, so the use of formic
acid is recommended for the control of this parasite Data on its high efficacy and low cost is
supported by the information on this document.
