| Abstract: | The Varro jacobsoni got introduced from Jammu in 1989. It caused huge destruction of honeybee in the hilly areas of Pakistan. The incidence of mite Acarapis woodi was comparatively high in colonies maintained in the Hivel. The incidence of Acarine mite was very low on the Apis malfera. The honey bees seem to be somewhat resistant to this mite. However, three different chemicals such as Bromopropylate, formic acid and lactic acid were compared to assess their efficacy against mites that revealed a significant difference (p < 0.05) against the mites. Compared to others, Bromopropylate was found to be more suitable followed by formic acid and lactic acid. Bromopropylate, though, is cost effective but it needs repeated treatment to control mites. |
