Ecostop 6 lamellaes in a Pack For prophylaxis and treatment of varroatosis in bees designated for conventional and biological beekeeping.  Ecostop – contains natural active biological substances with acaricide effect - Thymolum and Oleum menthae.  Thymol has acaricide properties towards Varroa destructor. Thymol has also bactericidal, antimycotic and antiseptic effect which helps the general sanitization of the bee family. Thymol is a natural product and a natural ingredient of honey. Mint oil has acaricidic, bacteriostatic and fungicidic effect in the bee family.   Ecostop® - lamellae Ecostop®-plates is a product against varroatosis in bees containing the active substances of thymol and mint oil and it is in an original and patented pharmaceutical form. Slow and gradual vaporization of the biological substances allows the room of the hive to be saturated with medicinal vapors directed to the destruction of the tick Varroa destructor. Thymol and mint oil are known for their antiparasitic and sanitization effect. Thymol acts on the principle of the denaturation of the proteins in two directions. It inactivates the enzymes of the protein hydrolysis as a protoplasmic poison by creating insoluble proteinates. Loss of selective permeability is observed when affecting the cell membrane as a basis to disturb the physiological function of the tick. The effect of the thymol on the membranes is double due to the availability of a hydrophilic and a lipophilic part of its molecule. The pharmaceutical form chosen – a plastic plate of proper sizes, allows the slowed down release of the active substances. Ecostop-plates is in a specific pharmaceutical form, due to which the medicinal product has increased efficiency, harmlessness and accuracy of dosing. In 2006 Ecostop-plates was authorized for use as a conventional and biological product in bee-keeping having effect against varroatosis and providing high therapeutic activity against varroatosis up to 94% for 45 days. Clinical tests to determine the effectiveness of Ecostop-plates have been carried out for 4 year in Republic of Bulgaria – National Scientific and Research Veterinary Institute by K. Gurgulova, Assoc. Prof., PhD, in Republic of Turkey – Veterinary Institute, Bursa town, by Audin, Prof., in Serbia – Veterinary Institute of Belgrade town by Z. Stanimirovich, Prof. The tests to determine the effectiveness of Ecostop-plates showed that the highest effect against varroatosis /90.59 ± 1.83%/ was when applied in a dose of 2 plates for a bee family for 45 days /K. Gurgulova and her team/, Figure …. If proper applied, Ecostop-plates do not show any undesirable side effects on the bee family – no death of queen bees, bees and brood, thefts etc. The effect against the tick Varroa destructor is achieved by providing a continued and even evaporation of the thymol and the mint oil in an easier way to dose. High and durable levels of therapeutic effect are provided notwithstanding the environmental temperature and the strength of the bee family. The ingredients of Ecostop-plates allow its single application to treat varroatosis in a dose of 1-3 plates according to the strength of the bee family for a continuous period of time /45-55 days/ of treatment with no risk to pollute the bee products. The active substances and excipients in the composition of Ecostop are of natural origin and provide a biological effect with no harmful effect on the bees and the users of the bee products, and causing no harm to the environment. Ecostop is a biological product and as such, it can be applied during the honey collection. EU Regulation 889/2008 and Bulgarian laws on biological bee-keeping provide some specific rules. Ecostop-plates is directed to an application in biological bee-keeping to fight Varroa destructor. Its active substances - thymol and mint oil are in compliance with EU Regulation 889/2008. The test results showed that Ecostop-plates was highly efficient /over 94%/ against Varroa destructor and was well accepted by the different categories of bees /K. Gurgulova, Iv. Zhelyazkova, Iv. Panchev, 2010, International Conference on Biological Bee-keeping, Nesebar, R Bulgaria/. A scientific research on Ecostop-plates was presented in a Turkish magazine – “Uludag Aricilik”, 2/2007. The authors Audin, Assoc. Prof. and Cakmak, Assoc. Prof., presented a research for Ecostop-plates. The product manufactured by Primavet – Sofia was compared to Perizin /coumaphos/. The test results from the research showed, that Ecostop-plates was effective against the tick Varroa destructor at 94.7% in comparison with 90.3% for the control – Perizin. Ecostop-plates was also tested by Reza Shahrouzi – an international expert in bee-keeping. Ecostop-plates produced by Primavet – Sofia was tested against varroatosis in two apiaries in Iran during the period September – October 2007 at temperatures of +10°С to 30°С. Ecostop-plates were put on the frames /3 for strong and 2 for weak families/ and remained for 45 days in the hives. There is no requirement the environmental temperature to be higher than 15°С when using Ecostop-plates. This field research carried out in Iran against varroatosis showed that Ecostop-plates of Primavet – Sofia Ltd had very good efficacy up to 94.07%. /Table ...../   Advantages of Ecostop-plates By applying a proper strategy based on the precise knowledge of the biological features, the way of life and reproduction of the parasite Varroa destructor, Primavet – Sofia created the highly efficient conventional and biological product of Ecostop® - lamellae. Ecostop-plates holds Patent of Invention No.64831/2006 by the Patent Office of the Republic of Bulgaria; Ecostop-plates holds a protected trademark in Roman and Cyrillic alphabet in the Republic of Bulgaria and international trademarks in 6 countries; In 2007 the International Jury of the International Exhibition in Pleven town, Republic of Bulgaria, awarded to Ecostop-plates the big prize for innovations in bee-keeping and “Wing of Success”; In 2010 the Patent Office, Union of Inventors, Agricultural Academy of Republic of Bulgaria and a Commission of eminent scientists awarded to Ecostop-plates the silver medal for successfully developed patent, which is implemented and has gained recognition in bee-keeping in R Bulgaria and other countries; The Veterinary Services of Bulgaria, Turkey, Ukraine, Albania, Hungary, Lithuania, Georgia have carried out the necessary tests, examinations and analyses and issued Licenses to use the product of Ecostop-plates; Scientists working in the field of bee-keeping in Bulgaria, Serbia, Turkey, Iran, Lithuania, Ukraine have carried out independent scientific researches, which results were reported to the scientific forums at four world congresses of Apimondia or published in prestigious scientific magazines; Ecostop-plates has been exported and used in the bee-keeping practice of 6 countries; Especially developed in a convenient and easy to apply form, Ecostop-plates is a preferable product to fight varroatosis. The successfully developed formula based on thymol and mint oil leads to the high efficiency /94.7 %/ and tolerance of the product. Accessible and easy use of Ecostop-plates. Unpacked just before use, it is put on the upper surface of the frames of the body above the brood. Dosed according to the strength of the bee families and the level of verminousness, as determined during the examination of the bee family. Applied are 1 to 3 plates in the spring and in the autumn and it will act for 45-55 days. Thus, the varroatosis in the apiary is restricted to a maximum extent. No content of maximum admissible limits /MRL/ for bee honey is required for the biological ingredients of Ecostop-plates. The acarus Varroa is not resistant to the active substance of Ecostop-plates - thymol and mint oil. Thymol has a different effect in comparison with the synthetic pyrethroids. As a protein denaturant, it damages the cell membranes and affects all the cell processes, and generally affects the parasite. It will be more difficult for the acarus to change the functions of its organs in order to become resistant to the thymol. There is a possibility a resistant to the thymol acarus Varroa to appear in the distant future. Ecostop, as developed as a plastic plate, provides the possibility the thymol and the mint oil to be slowly released in an acting quantity of 5 grams of thymol put in the product, which shall not cause stress and shall not chase away the bees, the queen and the brood; Ecostop should be used for one time in the spring and in the autumn and its application is not related to a daily temperature within the limits of 35°С. Its application shall not affect the egg-laying by the queen bee. If the acarus Varroa is very reproduced in the summer, Ecostop can be used to restrict the quantity of the tick. It is recommended some small laths of sizes up to 1 cm to be put from the internal sides of the body and thus some free space for the whole evaporation to be ensured in order to achieve the even evaporation of the active substances and to prevent any possible clogging with gum of the plate; Results and Opinions from the Bee-keeping Practice Dimo Dimov – a bee-keeper in a registered biological apiary and Editor-in-Chief of “Bee and Hive”, R Bulgaria: “I have been using Ecostop to treat against varroatosis in my biological apiary yet since the time of its clinical testing. The product is highly efficient and well accepted by the bee families.” Mladen Kotlarski – Chairman of Professional Bee-keepers, an experienced bee-keeper and Editor-in-Chief of “Bees”, R Bulgaria: “Ecostop is harmless and this makes it applicable during the honey collection too. This is its huge advantage. There is no affection after treating, and for Ecostop-plates there is a big hope, that the Bulgarian bee-keeper can receive an ecological product to fight varroatosis.”  Information about Veterinary Medicinal Products /VMP/ against Varroatosis Registered in the Countries of the European Union /2009/ In 2009 on a sitting of the European Medicines Agency /ЕМА/ concerning the development and supply with VMP against varroatosis presented was the information, that in 25 countries of EU there had been separately registered from 2 to 9 VMP having proved a good acaricide effect.   Examining the content of active substances, it was found out that most often used were the synthetic pyrethroids /flumethrin and tau-fluvalinate/, an organic phosphorus compound /coumaphos/ and also different forms of thymol and essential oils and more restricted – amitraz and formic acid. Registered and authorized for use in R Bulgaria are the products of Primavet – Sofia with flumethrin - Varostop®-strips and with thymol and mint oil - Ecostop®-plates, both of which had been successfully used against varroatosis for respectively more than 15 and more than 5 years. Registered and authorized for use in R Bulgaria are almost all VMP against varroatosis used in EU with the active substances specified and having different brand names of the products.  The good awareness of Bulgarian bee-keepers, the possibility to chose a VMP and the proper, timely and simultaneous treatment made the varroatosis in Bulgarian being under control causing no economic damages to the bee-keeping.
