The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of different organic treatments for the control of V. destructor and their effect on honey production in Apis mellifera colonies located on the central region of Tamaulipas, Mexico. A total of 150 colonies were assigned to five treatments: T1, oxalic acid with glycerin; T2, sublimated oxalic acid; T3, Thymol, T4; HappyVarr; and T5, an untreated control. Mite infestation (initial and final) and honey production were analyzed using a non-parametric approach and were evaluated with the Kruskal\u2013Wallis test, and when significant differences were detected, Steel\u2013Dwass multiple comparisons were performed. To examine the relationship between infestation reduction and honey yield, Spearman\u2019s rank correlation was applied. No significant differences were observed in the initial infestation levels. However, final infestation levels showed highly significant differences among treatments (p &lt; 0.0001), with T1, T2, T3, and sublimated oxalic acid (T4) significantly reducing mite infestation compared with the control. Sublimated oxalic acid represents the most effective and productive control method under the tested conditions. Honey production also differed significantly among treatments (p &lt; 0.0001), with the highest yields recorded in T3 and T4. A strong negative correlation was detected between final infestation and honey production (p &lt; 0.0001). In conclusion, treatments based on oxalic acid (particularly sublimated) and HappyVarr proved effective in reducing V. destructor infestation and improving honey production, highlighting their relevance as viable alternatives for sanitary management in beekeeping.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/pathogens14101051","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,20]],"date-time":"2025-10-20T08:18:54Z","timestamp":1760948334000},"page":"1051","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Comparative Evaluation of Organic and Commercial Treatments Against Varroa destructor in Apis mellifera: Implications for Honey Yield in Northeastern Mexico"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1334-0253","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jes\u00fas Humberto","family":"Reyna-Fuentes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Facultad de Medicina Veterinaria y Zootecnia, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Tamaulipas, Carretera Victoria-Mante Km 5, Ejido Santa Librada, Ciudad Victoria 87274, Tamaulipas, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2751-5480","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Oscar Vicente","family":"Vazquez-Mendoza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Facultad de Medicina Veterinaria y Zootecnia, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma del Estado de M\u00e9xico, El Cerrillo Piedras Blancas, Toluca 50295, Estado de Mexico, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mirelly Venecia","family":"Mireles-Villanueva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Facultad de Medicina Veterinaria y Zootecnia, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Tamaulipas, Carretera Victoria-Mante Km 5, Ejido Santa Librada, Ciudad Victoria 87274, Tamaulipas, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4128-7207","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel","family":"L\u00f3pez-Aguirre","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Facultad de Ingenier\u00eda y Ciencias, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Tamaulipas, Campus del Centro Universitario, Ciudad Victoria 87149, Tamaulipas, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Juana Maria","family":"Coronado-Blanco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Facultad de Ingenier\u00eda y Ciencias, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Tamaulipas, Campus del Centro Universitario, Ciudad Victoria 87149, Tamaulipas, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ruben Alberto","family":"Mu\u00f1oz-S\u00e1nchez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Facultad de Medicina Veterinaria y Zootecnia, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Tamaulipas, Carretera Victoria-Mante Km 5, Ejido Santa Librada, Ciudad Victoria 87274, Tamaulipas, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francisco","family":"Reyes-Zepeda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Facultad de Medicina Veterinaria y Zootecnia, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Tamaulipas, Carretera Victoria-Mante Km 5, Ejido Santa Librada, Ciudad Victoria 87274, Tamaulipas, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1495","DOI":"10.1093\/jee\/toaf126","article-title":"Treating Newly Split Apis mellifera Honey Bee Colonies with Organic Miticides\u2014An Opportunity for Integrated Pest Management of Varroa destructor Mites (Mesostigmata: Varroidae)","volume":"118","author":"Aurell","year":"2025","journal-title":"J.
