A study was carried out to determine the effects of thymol (powdered form) with 3.2% oxalic acid (oa) on two ectoparasitic mites,varroa destructor anderson and trueman (acari: varroidae) and tropilaelaps clareae delfinado and baker (laelapidae: acrina) populations in honeybee apis mellifera linguistica (hymenoptera: apidae) colonies in the fall. thymol 2,4 and 6 g with 3.2% oa applied to twenty honeybee colonies thrice on different dates,showed 26,41,36% mortality in t. clareae and 93,99 and 94% mortality in v. destructor,respectively. the results showed that 3.2% oa with 4g thymol was the best treatment for controlling these mites. no queens were lost,and there was no adult honeybee mortality in any of the colonies during the experiment. © 2012 zoological society of pakistan.
