These experiments took into account the season of the year, apiary, colony, and developmental state and strength of the colony. The acaricides used were a synthetic (amitraz, Apivar®) and a natural (formulated from Api Life Var®, thymol oil and thymol alcohol) product. The treatments used in the present study reduce high infestations of V. destructor, although they do not eliminate the infestation. Similar efficacies between treatments were found. Nevertheless, the efficacy of a treatment depends on the apiary where applied. Moreover, the detected variability in the apiary and hive poses a challenge to the identification of the significant factors. Therefore, more field studies to assess efficacies in several apiaries are needed to obtain a better understanding of the effects of the applied treatments. 000060706 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 000060706 590__ $$a2.766$$b2017 000060706 591__ $$aMULTIDISCIPLINARY SCIENCES$$b15 / 64 = 0.234$$c2017$$dQ1$$eT1 000060706 592__ $$a1.164$$b2017 000060706 593__ $$aAgricultural and Biological Sciences (miscellaneous)$$c2017$$dQ1 000060706 593__ $$aMedicine (miscellaneous)$$c2017$$dQ1 000060706 593__ $$aBiochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (miscellaneous)$$c2017$$dQ1 000060706 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000060706 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-1946-1187$$aMoreno, C.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000060706 700__ $$aFerrer, M. 000060706 700__ $$aSanz, A. 000060706 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0003-3436-776X$$aPeribáñez, M.Á.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000060706 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-6279-0453$$aEstrada, R.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000060706 7102_ $$11001$$2420$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
