The aim of the invention is to provide a biocide composition which consists of a commercial natural olive leaf extract (olea europea) and a carrier which allows administering the plant extract in the beehive, preferably syrup (50% w/v sucrose dissolution) to inhibit the growth of the Paenibacillus larvae bacteria in all the phases of its biological cycle, both in its vegetative state and as a spore, along with Melissococcus plutomius and/or Nosema spp. achieving a curative treatment or the prophylaxis of the disease in the Apis mellifera larvae and adult bees. The active substance is preferably oleuropein, a secoiridoid glucoside, naturally present in plants of the Oleaceae family, although in lower concentrations.
Biocide composition for controlling pests which affect honey bees comprising a water soluble Olea europaea extract in a concentration range of 0.01-20 mg/ml and a carrier.
Use of a composition which consists of an aqueous Olea europaea extract wherein it is used to control pests which affect honey bees.
Method to control bee pests comprising the stages of i) Preparing or providing a biocide composition which consists of a water soluble Olea europaea extract in a concentration range of 0.01-20 mg/ml and a carrier. ii) Incorporate the Olea europaea extract in the hive's breeding chamber feeder, the hive, the hive frame's screen and/or the hive's frame.
