The development of Braula requires from 63-67 days as reported by
Dukov (1964) (Morse, Honey bee pests..etc.). Another reprot (Abd
El-salaam , 1962) mentioned that Development of Braula takes only 16-
23 days. If Apistan works on Braula it will kill adults only. This is
because eggs, larvae, and pupae are in the capping of the honey cells.
