For most people, bees are dangerous annoying insects, but there are those who hold them as pets. Bees for them are tireless workers who produce delicious and useful honey. The content of bees is quite troublesome, but even more problems appear if insects are ill. Prevent the disease is easier than cure it. But if you approach the problem with the knowledge of the case, you can quickly restore the health of the bees and prevent the death of the whole hive.
Diagnose the disease in the early stages of its development will allow you to quickly identify the focus of infection and significantly simplify life, both the bees themselves and their owner. Otherwise, the disease can spread to all hives at the apiary and hit other families. Begin treatment or prevention of diseases is best in early spring when the bees exhibit from the wintering room. During wintering, they can be infected by Wroa tinger, so prevention is somehow necessary.
In order to avoid infection of the entire apiary, it is necessary to eliminate the disease before the bees go into the breakdown, otherwise even the most powerful drugs cannot cope with the propagating ticks.
Treatment of herbs
Health bees directly affects the productivity of insects and the results of the beekeeper. To do this, it is necessary to regularly provide the right full nutrition, content and care of bees, and from time to time to carry out the prevention of bees diseases. If the insects still got sick, immediately begin to treat them. And in order not to buy expensive powerful drugs, it is possible to start with conventional people's ways.

In order to identify the symptoms of the disease in time, it is necessary to regularly monitor the behavior and activity of all bees. If you have noticed that some bees have swollen the abdomen too much, this is a clear sign of the disease. It is also worth paying attention to the consistency of the coloring and smell of discharge, the location of the dead larvae (where they are most), the presence of stains of diarrhea, as well as the nature of "sowing".
If at least a couple of times to carefully examine about 20% of all bee families, you can keep under the control of a stable healthy state of insects.

Diseases of bee
Pliers
If you apply antiquity preparations, then it is possible to determine their effectiveness as follows: Select about 100 individuals before and after processing and calculate the ticks. But it is much more important to determine the degree of infection, and not the number of parasites. If the bees are sluggish and sleepy, then the drug does not help, and the treatment must be continued.
The so-called "BUCS method" helps to quickly and accurately diagnose and immediately begin treatment of the bee disease (photo).
You will need the following:
- a small aluminum glass with a lid of 60 ml (this is bins);
- paper bag or second similar container;
- ordinary washing powder;
- hot water with a temperature of 90-95s;
- porcelain plate or tray;
- white shallow plate;
- cotton;
- tweezers;
- glass wand;
- capacity to drain soap water.
Progress:
- Select 100 individuals from the central part and place them in the bins. Make sure that there are no uterus among them.
- Make a note on the subscriber, designating the bee family room.
- Pour a glass of boiling water into the plate and dissolve 2 grams of washing powder in it.
- Quickly shake the sample bees from the bucks to the plate.
- For about 3 minutes, stitch the solution with the bees with a glass stick, thus rinsing bees.
- As a result, the ticks will remain on the days of the plate. Their quantity must be calculated to determine the degree of infection.
Intestinal disorder
Diseases of bees and their treatment are largely reminded by "human" medical practice. Thus, bees can also suffer the intestinal disorder, which manifests itself in diarrhea discharge. Disapprious diarrhea meets in adult individuals, and its research does not identify the presence of infections. It is associated with an abrasiveness of fluid in the intestines, as a result of which the caller becomes more liquid. This is a frequent illness that is striking insect early spring or during wintering. To prevent it, it is necessary to spend spring prevention.
The reasons for diarrhea at bees:
- poor-quality feed for the winter (for example, from the back of honey);
- too late feeding for the winter;
- high humidity in the wintering;
- anxiety bees during wintering;
- high air temperature in the wintering.
Breakdown disease
The disease of the bees is most often caused by American rot. When symptoms are found, you need to carry infected families at a distance of 5-7 km from the apiary in place with a good feed base. If a family is sick, in which less than six streets, then they can be combined into two, sewing a weaker uterus, and proceed to the treatment of the disease bees (video).
Sanapine - the drug for the treatment of bees from the American rotz. Insects are distilled twice in the disinfected hives at intervals in two days. The first two days of the bees block the exit from the hive so that they cannot fly. During the second distillation, the uterus should be replaced with younger and strong, and it should be removed in a healthy family. It must be put into the cell of Titov, and after the day to release. The final stage comes in a day when the bees give echo from the main family with young bees.
Norsulfazole syrup serves as an excellent medicine. Dissate 0.2 grams of Nisulfazole in boiling water and mix with 1 liter of syrup. Let's go to families 4 times with an interval per week 2 liters of syrup on the family.
