Abstract
This scientific article investigates the efficacy of Bipin-T, an amitraz-based preparation, against the widespread parasitic disease varroatosis in honey bees. The experiments were conducted in beekeeping farms located in the Samarkand and Kashkadarya regions as well as under laboratory conditions. In cage experiments, Bipin-T solutions with concentrations ranging from 0.5 to 2.0 ml per 2 liters of water were applied to evaluate the drug’s therapeutic effect and safety for bees. The results showed that concentrations between 1.0 and 1.5 ml per 2 liters of water were the most effective, reducing the number of Varroa destructor mites by 80–85% while exhibiting minimal toxic effects on bees.
