Abstract
Tropilaelaps spp. are ectoparasitic mites that has a major threat to most honey bee, especially
with Apis mellifera in Asia. Tropilaelaps mites damage immature developing bees and can cause brood
mortality and colony collaspe. The aim of this work was to evaluate the acaricidal and insecticidal activities
of some essential oils on Tropilaelaps mercedesae and adult honey bees using a vapor exposure method.
Four essential oils, Alpinia galanga, Curcuma longa L.,Syzygium sp. and Zingiber officinale R. were
tested. The result revealed that C. longa L. showed the greatest acaricidal effect on T. mercedesae with
LC50 values of 0.06% (v/v) at 4 h. However, the LC50 values at 4 h for Z. officinale R., A. galanga and
Syzygium sp. were 0.14, 0.24 and 0.40 (v/v), respectively. All essential oils caused 100 % mortality of
T. mercedesae within 24 hours after exposure. The results demonstrated that essential oils were not toxic
to adult bees at the concentrations used in this study (LC50 >10% (v/v)) at 4, 24, 48 and 72 h after
exposure. However, the efficacy of these essential oils under filed conditions is needed to fully evaluate
their potential as alternative controls.
