The objective of the present study was to evaluate the degree of hygienic behavior (HC) in Apis mellifera, measured by the needle perforation method, and its relationship with the infestation rate of Varroa destructor through a Spearman correlation test. The present was carried out in the apiary of the Universidad Nacional Agraria la Molina where 17 colonies of honey bees were used that have not received chemical sanitary treatment for more than two years. The colonies were classified into three groups according to hygienic behavior (CH): high CH (58.82 percent), moderate CH (29.41 percent) and mild CH (11.77 percent). The CH and the infestation rate for varroas in adult bees determined were on average 73.15 percent and 4.15 percent respectively. It was observed that most of the hives with a high level of hygiene presented a lower parasite load, and these two variables were significantly related (r = -0.569, p <0.05). Additionally, the average amount of closed brood (5.65 combs), food reserve (4.35 combs) was determined per hive, and the average population of adult bees was estimated at 18,764.7.
