| Abstract |
The acaricide efficacy of essential oils, i.e. jasmine oil, neem oil, and black cumin oil, and a chemical insecticide, Mavrik, with formic acid, used alone or in combination, was tested against the honeybee parasitic mite, Varroa destructor Oudemans. The potency of these substances was evaluated in honeybee colonies during August, September and October 2000. Cloth stripes saturated with the tested substances were suspended between the middle combs in all treatments during the study. Levels of infestation with Varroa destructor in both the brood and adult honeybees were estimated before and after the treatment. The tested natural four substances are safe to both honeybees and humans.
