Combating Varroa destructor in Honeybee Colonies Using Flumethrin or Fluvalinate
Gregorc A. , M. I . Smodi‰ ·kerl : Combating Varroa destructor in Honeybee Colonies Using Flumethrin or Fluvalinate. Acta Vet. Brno 2007, 76: 309-314. Mite mortality in two apiaries, one with 32 and the other with 15 honeybee (Apis mellifera carnica) colonies, was recorded prior to and after flumethrin or fluvalinate treatments and after a control, oxalic-acid application. During the 42and 51-d...
متن کاملInfestation and distribution of the mite Varroa destructor in colonies of Africanized bees.
Whereas in several parts of the world varroa is the major pest affecting apiculture, in others the parasite is unknown to many beekeepers because its damage to bees is minor. The impact of the mite Varroa destructor is related to the climatic conditions and the races of Apis mellifera bees in each region where the pest exists. In the present study, the current level of infestation by the mite w...
متن کاملBehavioral Modulation of Infestation by Varroa destructor in Bee Colonies. Implications for Colony Stability
Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) has become a global problem for beekeepers and for the crops that depend on bee pollination. While many factors are known to increase the risk of colony collapse, the ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor is considered to be the most serious one. Although this mite is unlikely to cause the collapse of hives itself, it is the vector for many viral diseases which are...
متن کاملEvaluation of lemon juice for controlling Varroa destructor in honeybee colonies
The present investigation was carried out in the apiary at Al-Fath location, Assiut Governorate, Upper Egypt, from 8 th of December, 2007 to 3 rd of January, 2008. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of lemon juice on varroa mites, Varroa destructor (Anderson and Trueman) in honeybee colonies, Apis mellifera L. with little brood in order to reduce varroa population to toler...
متن کاملAcaricidal activity of Swietenia mahogani and Swietenia macrophylla ethanolic extracts against Varroa destructor in honeybee colonies.
The acaricidal (miticidal) activity of 90% ethanolic extracts of leaves and stem bark of Swietenia mahogani and Swietenia macrophylla were tested against Varroa destructor mite. Four concentrations were used over two different time intervals under laboratory and field conditions. In general, it was noticed that the acaricidal effect based on mortality and LC(50) of all tested extracts against t...
