| Summary: | The use of essential oils (thyme, rosemary, basil, juniper, oregano, cloves, mint, cinnamon) in complementary
feeding, applied to bee families in autumn, can have favourable effects in improving their health. The incorporation
of essential oils in a dose of 2 drops / litre of sugar syrup had the effect of reducing the total number of germs in the
intestine of the analysed worker bees. This was observed mainly 20 days after their administration, in all the
experimental variants analysed, the best results being observed in the case of the batches in which the essential
rosemary, oregano and clove essential oils were used (p<0.05). |
