Abstract:		"Varroa destructor is a virulent ectoparasitic mite of western honeybee (Apis mellifera), and considered the greatest threat to apiculture around the world. Chemical method is widely used for the management of this mite. However, this method can easily induce the resistance of V. destructor to acaricides, toxicity of acaricides to honeybee and the residues in bee products. Therefore, many safe preventions and control techniques were developed to treat mite in recent years. Using pheromones of honeybee to control V. destructor would be a main tendency. A lot of studies indicated that Varroa mites are able to use honeybee pheromones to distinguish the development stages of the hosts, and show high selectivity for appropriate hosts at a special stage. In recent years, a lot of honey bee pheromones were reported to have effect on V. destructor, including pheromones from adult honeybee, pupa and brood. Some of them have repellent effect on V. destructor, while others have attractant effect on V. destructor. This article reviewed the progresses in pheromones categories, major chemical compositions, and their effects to V. destructor, which would suggest important avenues for further researches and applications in mite control"
