- Abstract
The goal of this study is to determine the varroa infestation level with powder sugar method on Anatolian bees in Balıkesir-Marmara Island. This study was performed on Anatolian bees in the years of 2014-2016. The total number of frames with bees, brood and varroa level with powder sugar method were counted and recorded in each colony. The difference between treated and treatedrequeened colonies in 2014 for the total number of frames with bees was significant, brood and varroa percentages were not significant in 2015 summer respectively. The three groups of untreated, treated and treated-requeened colonies were compared for total number of frames with bees, brood, varroa percentage in each colony and differences were not significant for bee frame number and brood in 2015 Summer-Fall. However, the difference for varroa percentage is significant. Treated requeened colonies were found to have low number of varroa and higher number of frames with bees and brood compared to treated colonies. The number of varroa mites were decreased with 38 % with requeening process in the spring instead of summer in 2016. In general, varroa level has been found high in colonies with more brood and bees. However, a few colonies were found to have low level of varroa even though these colonies had high number of frames with bees and brood. The results of this study may be used for breeding studies.
