Abstract

Results showed that the average percentage reduction in the incidence of varroa mite was 79.66%, 77.43%, 77.04% and 79.88% in the governorates of Dakahlia, Behera, Gharbia and Alexandria, respectively (in the brood + on adult bees) when using clove oil and menthol oil with concentration (12.5%،  25%). While the percentage of reduction of using eucalyptus oil in the same concentrations 65.6%, 73.8%, 70.9% and 66.73% for the previous governorates. From the previous findings it is advised to using one of these oils preferably clove oil for controlling varroa mite.
