Calamondin or Clamansi, Citrofornella microcarpa, belong to the fruit tree family Rutaceae. The fruit of the Calamansi is a small, round lime, a little bigger than the size of a thumbnail, about 30 mm (an inch) in diameter. Similar to other citrus fruits, the calamansi is high in vitamin C, and the juice can be an excellent vitamin basis. The lively ingredient D-limonene destroys the wax coating of the insects’ respiratory system. As soon as applied directly, the insect suffocates.
Calamansi is a smooth and slightly spiny plant, growing to a height of 3 to 5 meters. Leaflets are elliptic to oblong-elliptic, 4 to 8 cm long. Petioles are narrowly and scarcely winged, about a cm long. Flowers are axillary, solitary, rarely in pairs, white, and short-stalked. Fruit is yellow when ripe, nearly spherical, 2 to 3.5 cm diameter, 6- to 7-celled, and thin-skinned. The skin or peel is green to yellowish green or yellow, loosely adhering to the flesh. The flesh contains a few light orange seeds.
The forum from beemaster.com shows that calamansi juice can kill varroa mite. Varroa mites are external parasites of bees. The mites, which are about the size of a pinhead, use specialized mouthparts to attack developing bee larvae. The Varroa Mite is a parasitic mite that can cause serious trouble to beekeepers and their bees alike.

The Onion (Allium cepa) , the name approach from onion or the singleness as a bulb. The plant is interconnected to the lily botanically; chemically it is less piquant cousin of garlic in taste, but it is distinctive in its lachrymatory properties. It is occasionally used topically to treat insect stings, but personal knowledge suggests it lacks any significant anti-allergy properties. It has mild anti-microbial qualities and has been used in injury

    An electrolyte is any substance that contains free ions that behaves as an electrically conductive medium (conducts electricity). There would be no life without these electrolytes. Our body’s electrolytes include sodium (Na), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), bicarbonate (HCO3), magnesium (Mg), chloride (Cl), and hydrogen carbonate (HCO3). Electrolytes also control many functions in your body. Such as regulating our nerves and muscle functions and our body’s hydration, blood pH, blood pressure and the rebuilding of damaged tissue. This is why athletes drink, sport drinks to keep their amount of electrolytes in there body up so they can compete at the highest level possible with no setbacks.…

    When bees are exposed to these pesticides, it attacks their central nervous system, leading to muscle paralysis and death. Along with pesticides, parasites known as Varrao mites are also responsible for their death. The disease inflicted by these mites can result in bees losing legs or wings, essentially killing them. A study from 2016 found 35 pesticides and fungicides, some at lethal doses, in the pollen collected from bees that were used to pollinate food crops in five U.S. states. “In another research study, bees that contacted pollen contaminated with fungicides ended up…
