Abstract

The effectiveness of two substances Apistan and Bayvarol against Varroa jacobsoni Oudemans was tested in 15 faild colones of honey bees Apis mellifera. Treatment strips remained 4 weeks.

Infestation rates in honeybee workers were measured before and after the treatment, and the effectiveness was calculated as a percentage of initial infestation. The effectiveness was 99% for Apistan and 97% for Bayvarol, whereas the infestation rate increased in the control hives.
