This study investigates the effects of neem oil (Azadirachta indica) on honey bee workers and queens in controlling Varroa destructor. The research found that while higher concentrations of neem oil resulted in significant egg mortality and delayed larval development, lower concentrations did not adversely affect bee populations or honey reserves. The highest mortality rate of Varroa was observed at 85%, indicating the potential of neem oil as a bio-rational control method for this pest without harming bee
