Current disinfection

After the work done to care for bees, disinfect all bee equipment: stamesku, box, which contained a framework for transfer, the entire surface of the chimney flue, and front mesh beekeeper.

Before this, All wooden parts frameworks, aperture, ceiling boards hive treated with disinfectant solution.

Once freed from hives of bees, they also thoroughly clean out and treated with special agents.

If detected American foulbrood or nozematoz, hives then treated with a blowtorch.

You can hold gas disinfection, hives with top covered with plastic wrap, which includes handling.

Disinfectants

Disinfection selected depending on the problem, which was found

• Gas formalin disinfection pairs used in the processing equipment, while additionally apply heat chamber, in which the temperature is maintained at 1000 ° C and humidity 100%. The process takes an hour. On 1 cubic meter chamber spent about 200 ml 40% formaldehyde solution.

For, in order to get rid of nozematozu and foulbrood, temperature chamber kept at 500 ° C and these conditions make disinfect combs. Neutralization is carried formalin 25% nashatirnim alcohol ob'єmom 120 ml of 1 kubometr camera.

• A solution of formaldehyde (4%) apply, disinfecting cells for diseases of bees nozematozom. Cellular cell moisturize formaldehyde solution, spraying drug hidropultom. The solution is prepared at a concentration 1: 9, t. it is. One of formaldehyde dissolved in nine parts water.

After this treatment the cells are inserted into the hives and kept in sealed enclosures for 4 hours at about 200 ° C, but not below.

• Alkaline 40% formaldehyde solution used for the treatment of hives, frames and other parts of the hive at hnyltsevyh lesions.

The solution prepared in this way:

• 1 of formaldehyde;
• 1 of NaOH;
• 20 parts water.

For processing 1 m³ hive taken 0,5 l prepared solution. Disinfection is conducted twice every hour.

You can also process and honey, withstand them at a 500 ° C to fight American foul brood.

• Concentrated Acid octová, which evaporates, used for disinfecting hives from nozematozu. beehives 12 frame is processed 200 ml acetic acid. Between the buildings laid tow, impregnated with concentrated acetic acid, and so kept for three days at a temperature above 160 ° C. If the air temperature is below, it thus hives vystoyuyut five days. Preparation of the solution: on 4 parts 96% acetic acid to 1 of water.
• Monohlorystym iodine-treated cells upon detection of diseases hnyltsevyh. Prepare 5% monohlorystoho iodine solution and moisturize cells with hidropulta. In this state, cells stand for 24 hours, then thoroughly washed and dried.
• A mixture of hydrogen peroxide and acetic or formic acid treated cells for, to get rid of American and European hnylbtsya. Prepare solution, consisting of 3% and H2O2 3% acid, other – this water. Hives, beyond all other wooden parts are treated with an aqueous solution, consisting of 10% and peroxide 3% acid. The treatment is carried out three times in an hour. On 1 m³ hive using 1 l solution.
• Odnovidsotkovyy solution of potassium hydroxide used for tissue processing units hives. They are boiled in this solution for 15 minutes.

Additional methods for disinfection of hives

To attention, as the most affordable way for systematic processing of parts and equipment hive beekeeper use the boiling water (boiling water).

Also part of the hive and beekeeper equipment disinfected burning.

Wooden parts burn until the brown color.

Especially effective use burning together with other means of disinfection of infectious diseases.

In conclusion we can say, that Perparaty and methods for disinfecting a lot of hives, and they should apply only, when it is cost-effective.

Sometimes instead, to disinfect, better to throw out the old hives and equipment, and instead install new with modern materials.
