Fig. 2. Kaplan-Meier plot of honey bees larvae survival function on different treatment: Control with no solvent (Control), control with solvent (Control Acetone) Spalt, Cascade, Victoria and Mapuche (Log-rank test, p < 0.05).  Varroa destructor is a major problem for beekeepers of European bee ecotypes under temperate climates. Mite proliferation and its interaction with RNA viruses lead to the collapse of thousands of bee colonies worldwide (Maggi et al., 2016). Hence, beekeepers apply synthetic acaricides but provoking cases of resistance, which become accentuated by the persistence of residues after their application. These residues also contaminate hive products like honey and wax used by humans (Mitton et al., 2017; Maggi et al., 2016). The redirection of control programs
