In this study, we summarize the recent advances on chemical composition and bioactivity of giant hyssop (Agastache foeniculum (Pursh) Kuntze) and catnip (Nepeta cataria L.). Extracts from giant hyssop and catnip have a significant bioactivity, antibacterial and antioxidant activity (Suschke et al., 2007; ZieliA„ska and Matkowski, 2014; Mihaylova et al., 2013). This literature review wants to emphasize the value of these two plants and the opportunity of using them to obtain bioactive extracts with applicability in beekeeping for different pest control. Different parts of the mentioned plants were used for the determination of active principles from macerates and essential oils. Spectrophotometric methods as well as high performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography are generally used for determination of bioactive principles from the classes of polyphenols, flavonoids, carotenoids and aromatic acids. Remarkable results have been obtained using the essential oil from Agastache foeniculum as an insecticide for the control of pests like the Red flour beetle (Tribolium castaneum Herbst), Lesser grain borer (Rhyzopertha dominica F.), Mediterranean flour moth (Ephestia kuehniella) and the Indian meal moth (Plodia interpunctella) from the grain and food warehouses (Ebadollahi, 2011). The anti-microbial activity of catnip (Nepeta cataria) was proven in over five bacterial strains: Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtillis (Bandh et al., 2011).Considering the results obtained and reported in the literature on the control of various pests and diseases, we consider appropriate to extend the research in the field of beekeeping as well, for a natural treatment of different bacterial diseases and pests.
