At Balıkesir University, a natural solution produced using boron ore and nanotechnology is eliminating varroa and wax moths, which cause bee deaths, through natural methods.

Associate Professor Dr. Hakan Tavşanlı from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at Balıkesir University, along with Chemistry Department faculty members Prof. Dr. Seda Beyaz and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Gülşah Çelik Gül, established an R&D company at Balıkesir Technopark.

The team, which has been conducting studies on different applications of boron ore processed with nanotechnology at the "Novalabs Kimya" company founded about 4 years ago, developed a method to eliminate the pests that cause bee deaths, namely varroa and wax moths.
