BEES AND DISEASES: BEES AND BROATA PARASITES

Just like all living organisms, bees are also susceptible to various diseases. What matters is that the beekeeper recognizes as early as possible the first symptoms of the diseases and the infestation in the hive.

Just like all living organisms, bees are also susceptible to various diseases. What matters is that the beekeeper recognizes as early as possible the first symptoms of the diseases and the infestation in the hive.

The main reason is that many of these diseases, being contagious, kill bees. Therefore, it is mandatory to make a complaint to the reference ASL. Let's see in detail the question of bees and broat parasites. In addition to the pathology, we will describe in extreme synthesis symptoms, treatments and observations related to the combination of bees and diseases.

One of the most common is varrosis which involves depopulation of the family, mutilations and deformities (flickering bees) and parasites on larvae. The treatment includes formic acid and oxalic acid. In particular, we tend to use the classic Cassettino, where, following the fall of the parasite, it is possible to verify how serious the pathology is.

In reference to the American plague, the most obvious symptoms are the larval state Moria. Ditto for the European plague. If, however, in the first case, the treatment to be followed consists in the destruction of the family, in order not to infect the entire apiary, in the second case, if the family is particularly strong, it is possible to carry out a cure based on hydrostreptomycin sulfate and Block the broking for two or three weeks, introducing a young queen bee.

Finally, in the case of the American plague, the operacles are drilled irregularly and the filamentous residues of brown colour emit a bad odor. In the case of the European plague, however, the bees lose the color white, becoming gradually more opaque and yellowish in color and assume a curled position. The cells also have irregular percolate. The sack hatching has symptoms like the larval state, but usually if the family is strong, it tends to disappear. So there are no special therapies. In this case, it is known how the larva passes from the yellowish to the brown.

In the case of the acariasis, to be affected are the adult bees. Among the problems of this disease are the obstruction of the Tracheae and a whole series of problems inherent to internal circulation. In the most extreme cases, internal lesions are recorded. Therefore, the symptoms are very difficult to detect. Amobiasis is an infection that in many cases is due to water. Mycosis, on the other hand, involves the shrinking of the adult bees and the larvae that in fact are mummified and covered by the spores of the fungus. In this case, you need to replace the infected material, helping the bees to clean up.

Always speaking of bees and illnesses, the May mal and the Mal Nero present not yet established causes. In May's Mal, the bees are over-nourished and present the swollen belly, due to the difficulty of digestion. Typically, a syrup with 1 gram of salicylic acid is administered at every kilo. In the black Mal, however, the hairless bees are moved away from the hives. Finally, we conclude the speech quoting the moths of the wax, where the Lepidoptera feed of Favi.
