Description:	The Varroa destructor mite is an ectoparasite that feeds by sucking the hemolymph from pupae, pre-pupae and adults of Africanized bees (Apis mellifera). The process of parasitism exerted by V. destructor results in various damages to affected individuals, ranging from malformation, reduced longevity, possible transmission of viruses and, in cases of greater infestation, death. With this study, we sought to determine the infestation rate in capped broods (pre-pupae and pupae) during the seasons of the year in the two castes of adult bees: workers and drones in five colonies in an apiary of Embrapa Pantanal located in the Nhumirim ranch (18°59'15.70”S, 56°37'09.30”W), sub-region of Nhecolândia of Pantanal, in Corumbá-MS, Brazil.
