EFFECT OF MITICIDES AMITRAZ AND FLUVALINATE ON REPRODUCTION AND PRODUCTIVITY OF HONEY BEE APIS MELLIFERA

Varroa destructor is a well-known ectoparasite of the honey bee Apis mellifera. Amitraz and fluvalinate are highly effective miticides used against V. infestation in colonies A. Though bees more resistant to miticides, there side effects these chemicals on reproduction, olfaction, production bees. We showed negative impact amitraz reproduction colonies. Also, we assumed reduction olfaction by due changes expression olfactory related neuropeptide genes short F sNPF, tachykinin TK, receptor sNPFR. The external treatment along with positive effect pest control harms reproductivity, productivity, and, probably, can reduce learning memory, gustation When for time care, be less harmful Breeding varroa-resistant allow use produce organic honey. Therefore, further development beekeeping should direction selection disease resistance adaptation environment.
