| Abstract | ||
| Six plant extracts, namely zingiber (ginger) roots, leaves of marjoram, seeds of santonica, clove, caraway and fenugreek were evaluated against varroa mite during September-October,1995, at the apiary of the faculty of Agriculture, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt. The obtained results revealed that santonica, clove and fenugreek were the most effective compounds for reducing varroa mite population. Colonies treated with the other plant extracts( zingiber, marjoram and caraway) also had significantly fewer mites than untreated colonies. There was no indication that any of the tested compounds had adverse effects on honey bee colonies. | ||
