Abstract: A biopesticide formulation using isolates of the fungus Beauveria bassiana has been developed, which can be used to control arachnid infestations of honeybee hives. The formulation is particularly useful for controlling infestations of Varroa destructor in honey bee hives.

Abstract: A lure for attracting females of stored product moths comprising an cold hexane extract or a synthetic equivalent of an oily seed. The extract or equivalent comprises material such as single-chain or branched, saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, and ketones. The extract includes extracts of nuts, chick starter and seeds. A method of attracting females of a population of stored product moths includes formulating a chemical extract of a material that is attractive to stored product moths into a lure. The extract or synthetic equivalent of an oily seed is formulated into a slow release device for use in attracting moths to a trap for monitoring or controlling populations of moths, for attracting moths to a killing station that is treated with a toxicant or pathogen for purposes of controlling populations of moths, and for confusing or disrupting moth behavior that results in controlling populations of moths.
