Screening of a acaricidal fumigants for the control of tracheal mite disease of honey bees in Pakistan
Bashir Mohammad Khan and M. Ismail Chaudhry
ABSTRACT
Three acaricidal fumigants namely Folbex. Perizin and
Frow mixture were evaluated, under local condition, for
their efficacy against the tracheal mite disease of
honey bees in aparies in N.W.F.P. The fumigants
significantly reduced the number of sick bees and showed
gradual increase in assumption of normal routine
foraging than in the control where the colony population
quickly dwindled resulting in complete collapse. Folbex
strip fumigation proved comparatively economical and
more effective. Perizin was better than Frow mixtures.
