Abstract		Apilife-Var (Chemicals Laif) product against V. jacobsoni based on thymol 74 %, eucalyptol oil 16 %, camphor 3.7 % and menthol 3.7 % was tested in honeybee colonies and compared with the effectiveness of Bayvarol strips (Bayer, flumenthrin 3.6 mg). The experiment was conducted on honeybee colonies after the main forest pasture in August and September 1995. The average effectiveness of Apilife-Var in colonies with queens from the same year was 78.9 % and in colonies with two and three year-old queens was 53.8 %. In general 66.4 % mites were killed after two insertions of medical plates in colonies. 33 days after the insertion of four Bayvarol srtips in each colony, 95.7 % mites were killed. Apilife- Var with his natural substances gives a good possibility to reduce the number of mites in colonies into certain level.
Summary		Apilife-Var (Chemical Laif) sredstvo za zatiranje V. jacobsoni, katerega sestavine so timol 74 %, evkaliptusovo olje 16 %, kamfora 3,7 % in mentol 3.7 % smo preizkušali v čebeljih družinah in ga primerjali z delovanjem bajvarola, Bayvarol (Bayer, flumethrin 3.6 mg). Poskus je potekal v družinah medonosne čebele po končani gozdni paši v avgustu in septembru 1995. V čebeljih družinah z maticami iz tega leta in z eno leto starimi maticami je po zdravljenju odpadlo 78.9 % varoj, v družinah z dve in tri leta starimi maticami pa je odpadlo 53.8 % varoj. Povprečno pa je poskusnih družinah po enkratni ponovitvi poskusa odpadlo 66.4 % varoj. V družinah, zdravljenih z bajvarolom, je po 33 dneh odpadlo 95.7 % varoj. Apilife-Var kot zdravilo z naravnimi substancami predstavlja dobro možnost zmanjŠevanja stopnje okuženosti čebelje družine.
