Immobilization is required for the examination and manipulation of honey bees (Apis mellifera), many techniques have been developed to render immobile until this date. Among them, two methods, which are carbon dioxide (CO2) low-temperature narcosis, commonly used induce anesthesia on bees. Although CO2-induced changes behavior physiology bees, induced by cold considered as non-damaging There a very limited number studies effects different chilling protocols in Therefore, purpose study was...

Varroa control is essential for the maintenance of healthy honey bee colonies. Overuse acaricides has led to evolution resistance those substances. Studies short-term acaricidal effects and safety various lithium (Li) salts recently have been reported. This study examined long-term in vitro vivo toxicities, motor toxicity bees anti-Varroa field efficacy several Li salts.In an chronic-toxicity assay, citrate (18.8 mm) was most toxic salts, followed by lactate (29.5 mm), formate (32.5 mm). In...

The occurrence of multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is an important causative agent mastitis in cattle and foodborne diseases. It a worldwide concern, making it essential to develop alternative treatments fight against the bacteria. Thus, aim this study determine ability carvacrol inhibit growth S. isolated from bulk tank milk Turkey’s Burdur Province.
