Popis:	Essential oils obtained from medicinal and aromatic plants, due to their bioactive principles, represent an important pharmaceutical source for human and animals. The objective of this paperwork was to determine the effect of the addition in supplementary feeding of bee colonies of oregano and basil essential oils. The bee colonies fed, during spring, on sugar syrup and essential oils presented a better development, recording a number of bee brood cells that was bigger than in the control variant. At the same time, we observed a significant reduction in the total number of germs within the small intestine in the case of supplementation with these essential oils, correlated with the improvement of health status of bee colonies.
