Abstract
The study was conducted in the College of Agriculture, University of Baghdad in 2007 aiming to evaluate the effect of Avaunt150sc at concentration of 0.3 ml/liter on the biology of great wax moth in storage at 30±1 C˚ that the effect of insecticide with different concentration on the honey bees was also studied. Results showed the Avaunt150sc was high effect in inhibition eggs hatching. The insecticide was also very effective against larva instars. A complete mortality was obtained for the young larvae instars (1st, 2nd and 3rd) more sensitive compared with the later larvae instars. The results showed that Avaunt150sc was high effect on pupa, Adult emerged from the treated pupa were all distorted and were on all to lay egg. Adults feed on the sugar solution of 10% contamination mixed with Avaunt150sc laid lower number of eggs per female with hatching eggs percentage in first and second generation. When the insecticide Avaunt150sc was on worker honey bees tested the concentration of 0.2 and 0.3 ml / liter water showed effect on the activity of those bees workers while the concentration of 0.4 ml / liter water had adverse effect on honey bees killing all individuals of the colony of in hive.
