Table 2.

Complete exposure bioassay. LC50 (µL) of essential oils on V. destructor and A. mellifera and their selectivity ratio in a monitored period. Green highlighting means low value of selectivity ratio (<3), yellow highlighting means moderate value of selectivity ratio (3–5), and red highlighting means high value of selectivity ratio (>5).
