| Abstract | ||||
| Monitoring the bio-effect or certain medicinal plant extracts and certain botanical oils with differenl torms (direcl oils. tablets and capsules) against Varroa ,nile was made to find out the more efficient compounds for controlling the ectoparasite mite in the Egyptian apiaries. Comparison was worked at witn the results given after using Mavrik as a recommended acaricide for this particular mile. The highest reduction value in mite infestation was obtained after using thyme and worm wood extracts as well as marjoram. cedar wood and clove oils as botanical oils. Also so. clove and marjoram oils used as tablets or capsules gave lhe efficient control measurement for Varroa mite in the experimental colonies. Keywords: Honey bee. Varroa mile. Biocide. Botanical extracts. | ||||
