Abstract
The female mite nymphs of Varroa destructor Anderson and Truman were collected from sealed worker and drone
brood cells and prepared for the scanning electron microscopic examination to identify type and structure of the setae
receptors present on the leg I. Eighteen setae types were recorded and described. Thought they can perceive bee
associated volatiles by means of receptors in wall-pore sensory hairs of the tarsal pit organ and legs.
