Often in beekeepers through ill-timed struggle with varroatosis die bee colonies. It should be remembered – the critical moment in the bee colonies comes when the old bee is replaced with the winter bee, ie. after the honey collection. During this period, and you need to maximally release the bees from the tick with the […]
I had to apply various methods of combating varroatosis: I poisoned the mite with phenothiazine, thymol, burning some herbs in the smoke, but everything was ineffective. Finally, I found what to take him. In the period of active development of bees in families there is a lot of drone brood, that’s when I start to […]
Frozen seeding is an indiscriminate disease, accompanied by the death of egg embryos in different stages of their development. Causes of the disease. The cause of the disease is the hereditary properties of the uterus. Cross-permutation of frames from families with a dead seeded into normal families and vice versa it is established that the […]
Nosematosis is an invasive disease accompanied by a disorder of the intestine and changes in the midgut of adult bees and queens. Economic damage. In northern and central regions, this disease causes great harm – causing death or a strong weakening of bee colonies. The causative agent of the disease. Nosema – Nosema apis – […]
Reports on the use of oxalic acid vapors in varroatosis caused the response of beekeepers. They offer their devices and devices as evaporators. Many proposals deserve attention, and some are not without serious shortcomings. The idea of processing bees in pairs of oxalic acid appeared long ago and was tempting with its simplicity and speed […]
Salt toxicosis is an infectious disease of bees, resulting from eating more or less significant amounts of table salt. Causes of the disease. Salt toxicosis develops when large amounts of mineral salts enter the body of bees with food or water. This is observed when feeding bees with sugars of sugar with an admixture of […]
To combat varroatosis, bees use chemical agents: formic acid, thymol, felboks, phenothiazine, varrobraulin, “CASS-81”, varroatin, oxalic and lactic acid. None of these drugs can not kill all the mites in the hive, some of them remain and multiply, and so from year to year. Fans go from using one drug to another, they are looking […]
Ascosferosis (pericystomycosis, pericystosis, calcareous brood) is an infectious disease of bee colonies, causing the death of adult drone and bee larvae, their drying into white, like chalk, lumps. The causative agent is Ascosphaera apis (a synonym for Pericystis apis) – a marsupial fungus from the family of ascospheric, with sexual dimorphism. Forms spherical sporocysts, or […]
Carbohydrate dystrophy (starvation) – mass death of bees when exhausted from a lack of carbohydrate feed – honey. Causes of the disease. Starvation of bees at a feed insecurity can cause the death of bees at any time of the year. In spring, they die when last year’s reserves are exhausted, or when other families […]
Aspergillosis (stone brood) is an infectious disease of bee colonies, causing the death and drying of the brood and adult bees. Aspergillosis is dangerous for humans and pets. The development of the disease contributes to high humidity in the area where the apiary is located, abundant pollen gathering and rainy summer. The causative agent is […]
