Ascospherosis of bees is an infectious disease that leads to the weakening and death of bee colonies and causes serious economic damage to the beekeeping industry. The purpose of this work was to study the effectiveness of modern environmentally friendly disinfectants for ascospherosis of bees in laboratory and apiary conditions. The studies were carried out in accordance with wellknown instructions, methodological requirements and methods. Based on literature data, a number of preparations were selected that have fungicidal and sporicidal effects, decompose on work surfaces to non-toxic compounds, penetrate into porous materials, are easily washed off with water and do not leave a persistent odor. At the same time, the final commercial beekeeping products must remain sanitary and biologically safe and suitable as food raw materials and products. Based on the results of laboratory studies and apiary tests of selected preparations, effective regimes were selected that ensure reliable disinfection of beekeeping objects in case of ascospherosis of bees.
