The comparison of different organic, chemical (flumetrin) and cultural methods in honey bees

Varroa destructor, the most important pest of the honey bee colonies, damages the colonies directly or indirectly. The aim of the project carried out between 2015-2017 is to determine the most effective method of 7 different application (organic, chemical and biotechnical) methods between 2015 and 2017. 2015 was a bad year for beekeeping. Since the creation of the project colonies found the mid-June, it prevented giving honeycombs with drone cell. When the levels of varroa contaminants are examined in 2016; the lowest level of mite in October, when honey harvest approached and the number of field crops decreased, the highest level of mite in May, when the highest level of incubation activity is observed. This difference was statistically significant (p <0.05).It can be said that the application of chemical and organic acid in 1 and / or 2 times during the year increases the number of the varroa by transmission or reproduction again during the year. However, the advantage of frequent biological and cultural applications puts pressure on the increase of varroa. The difference between the treatment groups according to varroa measurements in 2016 was significant (p <0.05). The fact that the group of powdered sugar has the lowest number of varroa and that the group of melia azedarach is close to it, reflects the high level of struggle of honey bees against harmful by naturally. Also, there was no statistically significant difference with the other treatment groups, the powdered sugar group was found to be the second highest group. This result shows that, in general evaluation, good production practices in apiculture can affect both colony populations and honey yield positively, and can be achieved with the advantage that no residue and healthy honey because of the negativity of varroa struggle with synthetic chemicals. It has been concluded that more appropriate scientific data can be reached by testing in different seasons and colony conditions with combined (vegetable, cultural, organic, biological) combination of varroa control methods in this study.
