Abstract
This work was conducted in the Experimental Apiary of Plant Protection Institute at Gemmiza Research Station, Gharbia governorate and in laboratory of Faculty of Pharmacy, Tanta University to evaluate  the effect of some essential components from natural substances : Clove oil (Eugenol), Menthol oil (Menthone) and Camphor oil (Cineol)  in Varroa destructor control in honeybee colonies through the period of 1/11to 28/11/2014 and 1/12 to 28/12/2015. Results revealed that, the mean reduction of infection with Varroa mite could be arranged into the following descending orders as follows: 71.20%, 64.00%, 68.55% for Clove oil, Menthol oil and Camphor oil. In case of infestation of honeybee colonies with varroa mites, it is advisable to use the derived compounds : Eugenol, Menthone and Cineol especially at Winter season after honey harvesting.
