Chemical toxicosis of bees

Chemical toxicosis is an infectious disease caused by the poisoning of bees by poison-insecticides used to control insects harmful to agriculture and forestry. Causes of the disease. Chemical poisons, applied against harmful insects (insecticides), are divided into contact, or poisons of external action, and intestinal, or poisons of internal action.

Disinfection of cellular frames

The causative agents of infectious diseases of bees persist for a long time on a variety of subjects, being a constant threat of re-infection, a factor in the epizootic trouble of the apiary or the terrain. That is why in the fight against infectious diseases of any kind, treatment without disinfection does not give positive […]
