description 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).
