CONT

Dans son aire de répartition naturelle, dans la partie sud de l'Afrique, les apiculteurs disposent de peu de connaissances en la matière. Quasiment aucun traitement n'est appliqué car 1) le petit coléoptère ne représente généralement pas un problème pour les ruches de production; 2) souvent, les colonies faibles infestées forment un essaim déserteur (= absconding) et avant que l'apiculteur ne puisse agir, les colonies infestées ont souvent déjà fuit le coléoptère.
