This is confirmed by the significant difference in mite infestation between the groups treated with formic acid and spruce extract. This indicator was lower in bee families treated with spruce extract. After the spring treatment, the difference was 3 times (??<0.05), before autumn and spring next year it was 1.2 (??<0.01).

摘要
变异病是蜜蜂最危险的疾病。许多合成制剂用于其治疗。在有机养蜂中,它们是被禁止的;寻找对蜜蜂无毒、不会污染蜜蜂产品的新型有效杀螨剂是非常重要的。因此,我们的目的是调查使用天然云杉提取物的有效性,以对抗在一个有机蜂场的变异。在这项研究中,我们比较了使用天然云杉提取物和甲酸提取物在24个蜜蜂家族(每组12个)中对抗变异病的有效性。根据指导方针进行准备工作,春季一次,秋季一次。在研究过程中,对许多指标进行了评估,如春季和秋季的螨虫侵扰,家庭的加强和削弱,蜂蜜和蜡的生产力,冬季死亡(失去蜂王)的家庭百分比。调查结果表明,天然云杉提取物对瓦螨有较好的防治效果。用甲酸和云杉提取物处理的两组在螨虫感染方面的显著差异证实了这一点。该指标在云杉提取物处理的蜂科中较低。春季处理后差异为3倍(<0.05),秋春季处理前差异为1.2倍(<0.01)。当使用云杉提取物时,蜜蜂的蜂蜜产量提高了1.2倍,蜡产量提高了1.4倍。因此,建议在有机养蜂中使用这种抗变异性制剂。我们建议在第一次飞行后的春季和8月底进行制剂管理,每1升糖浆添加15毫升(每个家庭90毫升)。在未来,我们计划调查在有机养蜂中使用棘球球菌酊剂的有效性。关键词:有机养蜂;varroatosis;天然云杉提取物参考文献Ariana, A, Ebadi, R, Tahmasebi, G.(2002)。几种植物香精防治瓦螨的实验室评价(蜱螨目:瓦螨科)。植物学报,27,319。Bogdanov, S., Charriere, j . d .。, Imdorf, A., Kilchenmann, V., Fluri, P.(2002)。田间条件下甲酸和草酸处理后蜂蜜中残留物的测定。昆虫学报,44(4),399-409。Bogdanov Bolli h·K。,。,Imdorf, A。,Fluri, p(1993)。中华蜜蜂科(Apis mellifera L.)中华蜜蜂科昆虫的研究。昆虫学报,24(1),51-57。Brindza Brovarskyi, V .

Natural spruce extract is an effective remedy to fight against varroatosis in organic beekeeping
Varoatosis is the most dangerous disease of bees. A number of synthetic preparations are used for its treatment. In organic beekeeping they are forbidden; and the search for new effective acaricides, which are not toxic to bees and do not contaminate bee products, is highly relevant. Therefore, our purpose was to investigate the effectiveness of using natural spruce extract to fight against varroatosis at an organic apiary. In this study, we compared the effectiveness of using natural spruce extract and formic acid extract to combat varroatosis in 24 bee families (12 each the group). The preparations were administered according to the guidelines once in the spring and once in the autumn. In the course of the study, a number of indicators were evaluated such as spring and autumn mite infestation, the strengthening and weakening of families, honey and wax productivity, the percentage of families that died (lost their queen bee) during the winter. The results of our investigation show that natural spruce extract effectively controls the varroa mite. This is confirmed by the significant difference in mite infestation between the groups treated with formic acid and spruce extract. This indicator was lower in bee families treated with spruce extract. After the spring treatment, the difference was 3 times (??<0.05), before autumn and spring next year it was 1.2 (??<0.01). When spruce extract was applied, the bee families had by 1.2 times higher honey productivity and by 1.4 higher wax productivity. Therefore, it is advisable to use this anti-varroatosis preparation in organic beekeeping. We recommend administering preparations in the spring after the first flying rout and at the end of August, adding 15 ml per 1 liter of sugar syrup (90 ml/family).
In the future we plan to investigate the effectiveness of the use of eleutherococcus tincture in organic beekeeping.
