In Montenegro, Varoa (Varoa destructor) causes a lot of damage to bee colonies. Beekeepers decide on various ways to control varroa, and that is mainly the use of formic acid (August - September) and oxalic acid (October - November), then thymol-based products - Apiguard and Api Life Var. In practice, many beekeepers perform smoke treatment, based on amitraz, after removing the semi-extensions or extensions. This paper will show the pioneering steps in the use of products based on oxalic acid and essential oils, and very early treatment, from August 1. The preparation was kept for 42 days in bee colonies and a significant result was achieved in the destruction of varroa.
